And as for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
We make our way through Everything like thread passing through fabric, giving shape to images that we ourselves do not know.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
I am a house gutted by fire where only the guilty sometimes sleep before the punishment that devours them hounds them out in the open.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Your solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes, far in the distance.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Everyone once, once only. Just once and no more. And we also once. Never again. But this having been once, although only once, to have been of the earth, seems irrevocable.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
You, darkness, of whom I am born- I love you more than the flame that limits the world to the circle it illumines and excludes the rest.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
You are nearing the land that is life; you will recognize it by its seriousness.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Look, I am living. On what? Neither childhood nor future lessens . . . . Superabundant existence wells in my heart.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Rose, oh pure contradiction, joy of being No-one's sleep under so many lids.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
I have never been aware before how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
That is the principal thing-not to remain with the dream, with the intention, with the being-in-the-mood, but always forcibly to convert it all into things.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Destiny itself is like a wonderful wide tapestry in which every thread is guided by an unspeakable tender hand, placed beside another thread and held and carried by a hundred others.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
You darkness, that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Whoever you are, go out into the evening, leaving your room, of which you know every bit; your house is the last before the infinite, whoever you are.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Girls, there are poets who learn from you to say, what you, in your aloneness, are; and they learn through you to live distantness, as the evenings through the great stars become accustomed to eternity.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Never forget that solitude is my lot ... I implore those who love me to love my solitude." (Letter to Mimi Romanelli, May 11, 1910)
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
It is a tremendous act of violence to begin anything. I am not able to begin. I simply skip what should be the beginning.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
But because truly being here is so much; because everything here apparently needs us, this fleeting world, which in some strange way keeps calling to us. Us, the most fleeting of all.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
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.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
As if no one had ever tried before, try to say what you see and feel and love and lose.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
It is part of the nature of every definitive love that sooner or later it can reach the beloved only in infinity.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
He does not always remain bent over the pages; he often leans back and closes his eyes over a line he has been reading again, and its meaning spreads through his blood.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Let your beauty manifest itself without talking and calculation.You are silent. It says for you: I am. And comes in meaning thousandfold, comes at long last over everyone.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
She followed slowly, taking a long time, As though there were some obstacles in the way; And yet: as though, once it was overcome, She would be beyond all walking, and would fly.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
