It is clear that we must embrace struggle. Every living thing conforms to it. Everything in nature grows and struggles in its own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost, against all resistance.
Rainer Maria Rilke

More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
If no one else, the dying must notice how unreal, how full of pretense, is all that we accomplish here, where nothing is allowed to be itself.
Rainer Maria Rilke
And when suddenly the god stopped her and, with anguish in his cry, uttered the words: ‘He has turned round’ – she comprehended nothing and said softly: ‘Who?
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
Rainer Maria Rilke
And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact that there is something in you that wants to move out of it.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Dying is strange and hard if it is not our death, but a death that takes us by storm, when we've ripened none within us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Fame is finally only the sum total of all the misunderstanding that can gather around a new name.
Rainer Maria Rilke
But there is much beauty here, because there is much beauty everywhere.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Of all my books, I find only a few indispensible.
Rainer Maria Rilke
A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. That is the only way one can judge it.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful for: patience is everything!
Rainer Maria Rilke
If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing . . . then you are a writer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Who is there today who still cares about a well-finished death? No one. 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.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Fate loves to invent patterns and designs. Its difficulty lies in complexity. But life itself is difficult because of its simplicity. It has only a few things of a grandeur not fit for us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Everything that makes more of you than you have ever been, even in your best hours, is right. Every intensification is good.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Spring has again returned. The Earth is like a child that knows many poems. Many, O so many. For the hardship of such long learning she receives the prize. Strict was her teacher. The white in the old man's beard pleases us. Now, what to call green, to call blue, we dare to ask: She knows, She knows!
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be, in this immensity of night, the magic force at your sense's crossroad.
Rainer Maria Rilke
A billion stars go spinning through the night, / glittering above your head, / But in you is the presence that will be / when all the stars are dead.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
There are moments in which a rose is more important than a piece of bread
Rainer Maria Rilke
