More quotes by 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
Love and death are the great gifts that are given to us mostly they are passed on unopened.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be ahead of all farewells as if they were behind you, like the winter that is just departing.
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
And do not change. Do not divert your love from visible things. But go on loving what is good, simple and ordinary animals and things and flowers, and keep the balance true.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Resolve to be always beginning-to be a beginner!
Rainer Maria Rilke
To all that is used-up, and to all the muffled and dumb creatures in the world's full reserve, the unsayable sums, joyfully add yourself, and cancel the count.
Rainer Maria Rilke
He who does not at some time, with definite determination consent to the terribleness of life, or even exalt in it, never takes possession of the inexpressible fullness of the power of our existence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Leave to your opinions their own quiet undisturbed development, which, like all progress, must come from deep within and cannot be pressed or hurried by anything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.
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
a kind of memory that tells us that what we're now striving for was once nearer and truer and attached to us with infinite tenderness. Here all is distance, there it was breath. After the first home the second one seems draughty and strangely sexed.
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
In the depths all becomes law.
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
Our deepest fears are like dragons, guarding our deepest treasure.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Let your beauty manifest itself without talking and calculation. You are silent. It says for you: I am. And comes in meaning thousandfold, comes at long last over everyone.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The artist's experience lies so unbelievably close to the sexual, to its pain and its pleasure, that the two phenomena are really just different forms of one and the same longing and bliss.
Rainer Maria Rilke
If you trust in Nature, in the small Things that hardly anyone sees and that can so suddenly become huge, immeasurable if you have this love for what is humble and try very simply, as someone who serves, to win the confidence of what seems poor, then everything will become easier for you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Think... of the world you carry within you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
