Image
You have had many sadnesses, large ones, which passed. ... But please, ask yourself whether these large sadnesses haven't rather gone right through you [that is, passed through you]. Perhaps many things inside you have been transformed perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Our deepest fears are like dragons, guarding our deepest treasure.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Nearly everything that matters is a challenge, and everything matters.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
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
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
Earth, my dearest, oh believe me, you no longer need your springtimes to win me over...Unspeakably, I have belonged to you, from the flush.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Be, in this immensity of night, the magic force at your sense's crossroad.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
My blood is alive with many voices telling me I am made of longing.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
We are not permitted to linger, even with what is most intimate.
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
Just keep going - no feeling is final.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Look, we don't love like flowers with only one season behind us when we love, a sap older than memory rises in our arms.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)-they are experiences.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
[A]t bottom, and just in the deepest and most important things, we are unutterably alone, and for one person to be able to advise or even help another, a lot must happen, a lot must go well, a whole constellation of things must come right in order once to succeed.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
All this hurrying soon will be over. Only when we tarry do we touch the holy.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The artist's task consists of making one thing of many, and a world from the smallest part of a thing.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
At the bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity: that one is alone. That isn't as bad as it may first appear and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself his fate, his future, his whole expanse and world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.
