Image
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
Image
Nearly everything that matters is a challenge, and everything matters.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Life and death: they are one, at core entwined. Who understands himself from his own strain presses himself into a drop of wine and throws himself into the purest flame.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us yesterday, seperate, in the evening.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
In the depths all becomes law.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
You must think that something is happening upon you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand it will not let you fall.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
a good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Painting is something that takes place among the colors.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
But learning-time is always a long, secluded time, and so loving, for a long while ahead and far on into life, is-solitude, intensified and deepened loneness for him who loves.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Bound by conventions, people tend to reach for what is easy. Here we must be unafraid of what is difficult. For all living beings in nature must unfold in their particular way and become themselves despite all opposition.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
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
Image
Is not impermanence the very fragrance of our days?
Rainer Maria Rilke
