More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Be ahead of all farewells as if they were behind you, like the winter that is just departing.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Of all my books, I find only a few indispensible.
Rainer Maria Rilke
To work is to live without dying.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Space for the Spirit to breathe.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Lord, it is time. The summer was very big. Lay thy shadow on the sundials, and on the meadows let the winds go loose. Command the last fruits that they shall be full give them another two more southerly days, press them on to fulfillment and drive the last sweetiness into the heavenly wine.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
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
As if no one had ever tried before, try to say what you see and feel and love and lose.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Draw near to Nature. Then try like some first human being to say what you see and experience and love and lose.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Where I create, there I am true.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Resolve to be always beginning-to be a beginner!
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
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be forever dead in Eurydice-more gladly arise into the seamless life proclaimed in your song. Here, in the realm of decline, among momentary days, be the crystal cup that shattered even as it rang.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Swells, Marina? we ocean, depths, Marina? we sky!
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
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
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
There is only one journey. Going inside yourself.
Rainer Maria Rilke
