It is so often on the name of a misdeed that a life goes to pieces, not the nameless and personal action itself, which was perhaps a perfectly definite necessity of that life and would have been absorbed by it without effort.
Rainer Maria Rilke

More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Do not be bewildered by the surfaces: in the depths all becomes law.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The artist's task consists of making one thing of many, and a world from the smallest part of a thing.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Children are still the way you were as a child, sad and happy in just the same way-and if you think of your childhood, you once again live among them, among the solitary children.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
most people come to know only one corner of their room, one spot near the window, one narrow strip on which they keep walking back and forth.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Whoever you are, go out into the evening, leaving your room, of which you know every bit your house is the last before the infinite, whoever you are.
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
Comfort me from wherever you are–alone, we are quickly worn out if I place my head on the road, let it seem softened by you. Could it be that even from afar we offer each other a gentle breath?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Here is the time for the sayable, here is its home. Speak and attest. More than ever the things we can live with are falling away, and ousting them, filling their place, a will with no image. Will beneath crusts which readily crack whenever the act inside swells and seeks new borders.
Rainer Maria Rilke
For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)-they are experiences.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Painting is something that takes place among the colors.
Rainer Maria Rilke
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us yesterday, seperate, in the evening.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Trees do not force their sap, nor does the flower push its bloom.
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
Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Someday there will be girls and women whose name will no longer mean the mere opposite of the male, but something in itself, something that makes one think not of any complement and limit, but only life and reality: the female human being.
Rainer Maria Rilke
