More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible, will live the relationship with another person as something alive and will himself sound the depths of his own being.
Rainer Maria Rilke
If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
You darkness, that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Why should you want to give up a child's wise not-understanding in exchange for defensiveness and scorn, since not-understanding is, after all, a way of being alone, whereas defensiveness and scorn are a participation in precisely what, by these means, you want to separate yourself from.
Rainer Maria Rilke
We are unutterably alone essentially, especially in the things most intimate and most important.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Everything is blooming most recklessly if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.
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
Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)-they are experiences.
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
I want to love the things as no one has thought to love them.
Rainer Maria Rilke
All this hurrying soon will be over. Only when we tarry do we touch the holy.
Rainer Maria Rilke
We must assume our existence as broadly as we in any way can everything, even the unheard - of, must be possible in it. This is at bottom the only courage that is demanded of us: to have courage for the most strange, the most inexplicable.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Do you remember how life yearned out of childhood toward the great thing? I see that it is now yearning forth beyond the great thing toward the greater one.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Everything is gestation and bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life.
Rainer Maria Rilke
How can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Just keep going No feeling is final
Rainer Maria Rilke
Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confidence in the storms of spring without fear that after them may come no summer
Rainer Maria Rilke
