Rainer Maria Rilke
Of all my books, I find only a few indispensible.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love and death are the great gifts that are given to us mostly they are passed on unopened.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
And when suddenly the god stopped her and, with anguish in his cry, uttered the words: ‘He has turned round’ – she comprehended nothing and said softly: ‘Who?
Rainer Maria Rilke
I think of you often, dear, and with such concentrated wishes that it really must help you in some way.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Sometime we will have to stop overevaluating the word. We shall learn to realize that it is only one of the many bridges that connect the island of our soul with the great continent of common life. . . the broadest, perhaps, but in no way the most refined.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The necessary thing is after all but this solitude, great inner solitude. Going into oneself for hours meeting no one - this one must be able to attain.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke
