Now for some heartwork.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Life and death: they are one, at core entwined. Who understands himself from his own strain presses himself into a drop of wine and throws himself into the purest flame.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Nearly everything that matters is a challenge, and everything matters.
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
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
What is necessary, after all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours-that is what you must be able to attain. To be solitary as you were when you were a child.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Across the moment, aeons speak with aeons. More than we experienced has gone by.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I feel it now: there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it. All becoming has need me.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
There is only one journey. Going inside yourself.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
It is a tremendous act of violence to begin anything. I am not able to begin. I simply skip what should be the beginning.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Love is like the measles. The older you get it, the worse the attack.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
... be indulgent toward those who ... are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The necessary thing is after all but this solitude, great inner solitude. Going into oneself for hours meeting no one - this one must be able to attain.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If there is nothing you can share with other people, try to be close to Things, they will not abandon you and the nights are still here and the winds that move through the trees and across many lands everything in the world of Things and animals is still filled with happening, which you can take part in.
Rainer Maria Rilke
