More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
She who reconciles the ill-matched threads Of her life, and weaves them gratefully Into a single cloth – It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall And clears it for a different celebration.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Young people, who are beginners in everything, cannot yet know love: they have to learn it.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Who speaks of conquering? To endure is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love the questions themselves...Live the questions now and have confidence that someday far into the future, [I will live my] way into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
They, who passed away long ago, still exist in us, as predisposition, as burden upon our fate, as murmuring blood, and as gesture that rises up from the depths of time.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Death is the side of life which is turned away from us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
It is part of the nature of every definitive love that sooner or later it can reach the beloved only in infinity.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
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
No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write, find out wether it spreading out its root in the deepest places of your heart...Delve into yourself for a deep answer
Rainer Maria Rilke
Deeply I go down into myself. My god is Dark and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Wanting to change, to improve, a person's situation means offering him, for difficulties in which he is practiced and experienced, other difficulties that will find him perhaps even more bewildered.
Rainer Maria Rilke
He who does not at some time, with definite determination consent to the terribleness of life, or even exalt in it, never takes possession of the inexpressible fullness of the power of our existence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.
Rainer Maria Rilke
There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.
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
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
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
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
