More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
What we call fate does not come into us from the outside, but emerges from us.
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
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
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
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
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love the more they give, the more they possess of that precious nourishing love from which flowers and children have their strength and which could help all human beings if they would take it without doubting.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
Just keep going - no feeling is final.
Rainer Maria Rilke
My art is representational by choice....if the art of painting is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Joy is a marvelous increasing of what exists, a pure addition out of nothingness.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Is not impermanence the very fragrance of our days?
Rainer Maria Rilke
I want to love the things as no one has thought to love them.
Rainer Maria Rilke
It seems to me that the only way one can be helpful is to extend one's hand to someone else involuntarily, and without ever knowing how useful this will be.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Earth, is not this what you will: in us to rise up invisible? Is it, O Earth, not your dream once to be wholly invisible? Earth! Invisible! What, if not change, is your desperate mission?
Rainer Maria Rilke
When we are only victorious over small things, it leaves us feeling small.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Take your well-disciplined strengths, stretch them between the two great opposing poles, because inside human beings is where God learns.
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
Space for the Spirit to breathe.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and great each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.
Rainer Maria Rilke
