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
Image
Take your well-disciplined strengths, stretch them between the two great opposing poles, because inside human beings is where God learns.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Love is something difficult and it is more difficult than other things because in other conflicts nature herself enjoins men to collect themselves, to take themselves firmly in the hand with all their strength, while in the heightening of love the impulse is to give oneself wholly away.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The only journey is the one within.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
[A]t bottom, and just in the deepest and most important things, we are unutterably alone, and for one person to be able to advise or even help another, a lot must happen, a lot must go well, a whole constellation of things must come right in order once to succeed.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
You must change your life.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
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
Image
Trees do not force their sap, nor does the flower push its bloom.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Who speaks of conquering? To endure is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I am so glad you are here. It helps me realize how beautiful my world is.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Destiny itself is like a wonderful wide tapestry in which every thread is guided by an unspeakable tender hand, placed beside another thread and held and carried by a hundred others.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Across the moment, aeons speak with aeons. More than we experienced has gone by.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I believe that nothing that is real can pass away.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
As if no one had ever tried before, try to say what you see and feel and love and lose.
Rainer Maria Rilke
