I believe that nothing that is real can pass away.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
God... sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I want to unfold. Let no place in me hold itself closed, for where I am closed, I am false.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
You must give birth to your images. They are the future waiting to be born. Fear not the strangeness you feel. The future must enter you long before it happens. Just wait for the birth, for the the hour of the new clarity.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen.
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
As the arrow endures the string, and in the gathering momentum becomes more than itself. Because to stay is to be nowhere.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and great each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Fame — the aggregate of all the misunderstandings that collect around a new name.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing . . . then you are a writer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
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.
