Image
For our part, when we feel, we evaporate ah, we breathe ourselves out and away with each new heartfire we give off a fainter scent. True, someone may tell us: you're in my blood, this room, Spring itself is filled with you . . . To what end? He can't hold us, we vanish within him and around him.
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
Image
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so, because it serenely disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrible.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
No experience has been too unimportant, and the smallest event unfolds like a fate, and fate itself is like a wonderful, wide fabric in which every thread is guided by an infinitely tender hand and laid alongside another thread and is held and supported by a hundred others

Learn to love the questions themselves.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image

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.

Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches for the Creator, there is no poverty.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Our deepest fears are like dragons, guarding our deepest treasure.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Do not be bewildered by the surfaces: in the depths all becomes law.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Since I've learned to be silent, everything has come so much closer to me.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Just keep going - no feeling is final.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Comfort me from wherever you are–alone, we are quickly worn out if I place my head on the road, let it seem softened by you. Could it be that even from afar we offer each other a gentle breath?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Find out the reason that commands you to write see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Harshness vanished. A sudden softness has replaced the meadows' wintry grey. Little rivulets of water changed their singing accents. Tendernesses, hesitantly, reach toward the earth from space, and country lanes are showing these unexpected subtle risings that find expression in the empty trees.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The flower bends when the wind wants it to, and you must become like that-that is, filled with deep # trust .
