More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, Must I write?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.
Rainer Maria Rilke
My blood is alive with many voices telling me I am made of longing.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I want to unfold. Let no place in me hold itself closed, for where I am closed, I am false.
Rainer Maria Rilke
. . . denn da ist keine Stelle, die dich nicht sieht. Du musst dein Leben andern. (... for there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.)
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Again and again in history some people wake up. They have no ground in the crowd and move to broader deeper laws. They carry strange customs with them and demand room for bold and audacious action. The future speaks ruthlessly through them. They change the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Look, I am living. On what? Neither childhood nor future lessens . . . . Superabundant existence wells in my heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps creating something is nothing but an act of profound remembrance.
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
Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Just keep going No feeling is final
Rainer Maria Rilke
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.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Nearly everything that matters is a challenge, and everything matters.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
It is so often on the name of a misdeed that a life goes to pieces, not the nameless and personal action itself, which was perhaps a perfectly definite necessity of that life and would have been absorbed by it without effort.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The thought of being a creator, of engendering, of shaping is nothing without the continuous great confirmation and embodiment in the world, nothing without the thousandfold assent from Things and animals... beautiful and rich only because it is full of inherited memories of the engendering and birthing of millions.
Rainer Maria Rilke
And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact that there is something in you that wants to move out of it.
Rainer Maria Rilke
When we are only victorious over small things, it leaves us feeling small.
Rainer Maria Rilke
