More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
When we are only victorious over small things, it leaves us feeling small.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Who speaks of conquering? To endure is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be-and yet know the great void where all things begin, the infinite source of your own most intense vibration, so that, this once, you may give it your perfect assent.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Weren't you always distracted by expectation, as if every event announced a beloved? (Where can you find a place to keep her, with all the huge strange thoughts inside you going and coming and often staying all night.).
Rainer Maria Rilke
The only journey is the one within.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Keep growing quietly and seriously throughout your whole development you cannot disturb it more rudely than by looking outward and expecting from outside replies to questions that only your inmost feeling in your most hushed hour can perhaps answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Isn't it time that these most ancient sorrows of ours grew fruitful? Time that we tenderly loosed ourselves from the loved one, and, unsteadily, survived: the way the arrow, suddenly all vector, survives the string to be more than itself. For abiding is nowhere.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Dying is strange and hard if it is not our death, but a death that takes us by storm, when we've ripened none within us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Every happiness is the child of a separation it did not think it could survive.
Rainer Maria Rilke
What we fight with is so small, and when we win, it makes us small. What we want is to be defeated, decisively, by successively greater things
Rainer Maria Rilke
I am like a child who awakes At the light, so safe and secureFree from night's fears when dawn breaks, In Thee I am ever secure.
Rainer Maria Rilke
There are no classes in life for beginners right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
Rainer Maria Rilke
most people come to know only one corner of their room, one spot near the window, one narrow strip on which they keep walking back and forth.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I am a house gutted by fire where only the guilty sometimes sleep before the punishment that devours them hounds them out in the open.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Resolve to be always beginning-to be a beginner!
Rainer Maria Rilke
Only those sadnesses are dangerous and bad which one carries about among people in order to drown them out.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Who is there today who still cares about a well-finished death? No one. Even the rich, who could after all afford this luxury, are beginning to grow lazy and indifferent the desire to have a death of one's own is becoming more and more rare. In a short time it will be as rare as a life of one's own.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Our deepest fears are like dragons, guarding our deepest treasure.
Rainer Maria Rilke
She followed slowly, taking a long time, As though there were some obstacles in the way And yet: as though, once it was overcome, She would be beyond all walking, and would fly.
Rainer Maria Rilke
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.
Rainer Maria Rilke
