More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Across the moment, aeons speak with aeons. More than we experienced has gone by.
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
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Huge lemons, cut in slices, would sink like setting suns into the dusky sea, softly illuminating it with their radiating membranes, and its clear, smooth surface aquiver from the rising bitter essence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The only journey is the one within.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
My art is representational by choice....if the art of painting is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Painting is something that takes place among the colors.
Rainer Maria Rilke
It was not in me It came and went I wanted to hold it It was held by wine (I no longer know what it was)
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and great each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love the more they give, the more they possess of that precious nourishing love from which flowers and children have their strength and which could help all human beings if they would take it without doubting.
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
Why don't you conceive of God as an ally who is coming, who has been approaching since time began, the one who will someday arrive, the fruit of a tree whose leaves we are? Why not project his birth into the future, and live your life as an excruciating and lyrical moment in the history of a prodigious pregnancy?
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
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
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
The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Live the questions now.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Just keep going No feeling is final
Rainer Maria Rilke
To work is to live without dying.
Rainer Maria Rilke
