More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
It is clear that we must embrace struggle. Every living thing conforms to it. Everything in nature grows and struggles in its own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost, against all resistance.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confidence in the storms of spring without fear that after them may come no summer
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love and death are the great gifts that are given to us mostly they are passed on unopened.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Understand, I'll slip quietly away from the noisy crowd when I see the pale stars rising, blooming, over the oaks. I'll pursue solitary pathways through the pale twilit meadows with only this one dream: You come too.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I want to unfold. Let no place in me hold itself closed, for where I am closed, I am false.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Earth, my dearest, oh believe me, you no longer need your springtimes to win me over...Unspeakably, I have belonged to you, from the flush.
Rainer Maria Rilke
...a carefree letting go of oneself, not a caution, but a wise blindness.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Where something becomes extremely difficult and unbearable, there we also stand always already quite near its transformation.
Rainer Maria Rilke
If there is nothing you can share with other people, try to be close to Things, they will not abandon you and the nights are still here and the winds that move through the trees and across many lands everything in the world of Things and animals is still filled with happening, which you can take part in.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Nearly everything that matters is a challenge, and everything matters.
Rainer Maria Rilke
It is part of the nature of every definitive love that sooner or later it can reach the beloved only in infinity.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Across the moment, aeons speak with aeons. More than we experienced has gone by.
Rainer Maria Rilke
There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.
Rainer Maria Rilke
If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Children are still the way you were as a child, sad and happy in just the same way-and if you think of your childhood, you once again live among them, among the solitary children.
Rainer Maria Rilke
God... sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better.
Rainer Maria Rilke
