More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke

Image
The creator must be a world for himself and must find everything in himself and in Nature, to whom his whole life is devoted.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two separate strings.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Draw near to Nature. Then try like some first human being to say what you see and experience and love and lose.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Only those sadnesses are dangerous and bad which one carries about among people in order to drown them out.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The only journey is the one within.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
... be indulgent toward those who ... are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.
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
. . . denn da ist keine Stelle, die dich nicht sieht. Du musst dein Leben andern. (... for there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.)
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Every intensification is good, if it is in your entire blood, if it isn't intoxication or muddiness, but joy which you can see into, clear to the bottom.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
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
Image
Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and great each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Learn to love the questions themselves.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Bound by conventions, people tend to reach for what is easy. Here we must be unafraid of what is difficult. For all living beings in nature must unfold in their particular way and become themselves despite all opposition.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Fame is finally only the sum total of all the misunderstanding that can gather around a new name.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Animals see the unobstructed world with their whole eyes. But our eyes, turned back upon themselves, encircle and seek to snare the world, setting traps for freedom.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Again and again in history some people wake up. They have no ground in the crowd and move to broader deeper laws. They carry strange customs with them and demand room for bold and audacious action. The future speaks ruthlessly through them. They change the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Do not be bewildered by the surfaces: in the depths all becomes law.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.
Rainer Maria Rilke
