More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
All this hurrying soon will be over. Only when we tarry do we touch the holy.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
We make our way through Everything like thread passing through fabric, giving shape to images that we ourselves do not know.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
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
Animals see the unobstructed world with their whole eyes. But our eyes, turned back upon themselves, encircle and seek to snare the world, setting traps for freedom.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Learn to love the questions themselves.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I think of you often, dear, and with such concentrated wishes that it really must help you in some way.
Rainer Maria Rilke
She followed slowly, taking a long time, As though there were some obstacles in the way And yet: as though, once it was overcome, She would be beyond all walking, and would fly.
Rainer Maria Rilke
My blood is alive with many voices telling me I am made of longing.
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
Look, I am living. On what? Neither childhood nor future lessens . . . . Superabundant existence wells in my heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
I know of no other advice than this: Go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Young people, who are beginners in everything, cannot yet know love: they have to learn it.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Death is the side of life which is turned away from us.
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
Only those sadnesses are dangerous and bad which one carries about among people in order to drown them out.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Who speaks of conquering? To endure is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
