I know of no other advice than this: Go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Trees do not force their sap, nor does the flower push its bloom.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be, in this immensity of night, the magic force at your sense's crossroad.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Your solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes, far in the distance.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Look: the trees exist the houses we dwell in stand there stalwartly. Only we pass by it all, like a rush of air. And everything conspires to keep quiet about us, half out of shame perhaps, half out of some secret hope.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Deeply I go down into myself. My god is Dark and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
She who reconciles the ill-matched threads Of her life, and weaves them gratefully Into a single cloth – It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall And clears it for a different celebration.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Think... of the world you carry within you.
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
The only journey is the one within.
Rainer Maria Rilke
