We must accept our reality as...

We must accept our reality as vastly as we possibly can; everything, even the unprecedented, must be possible within it.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Oh longing for places that we...

Oh longing for places that were not Cherished enough in that fleeting hour How I long to make good from afar The forgotten gesture, the additional act.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Fig tree, how long it's been ...

Fig tree, how long it's been full meaning for me, the way you almost entirely omit to flower and into the seasonably-resolute fruit uncelebratedly thrust your purest secret. Like the tube of a fountain, your bent bough drives the sap downwards and up: and it leaps from its sleep, scarce waking, into the joy of its sweetest achievement.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I am learning to see. I don't...

I am learning to see. I don't know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn't stop where it once used to. I have an interior that I never knew of... What's the use of telling someone that I am changing? If I'm changing, I am no longer who I was; and if I am something else, it's obvious that I have no acquaintances. And I can't possibly write to strangers.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Nothing touches a work of art...

Nothing touches a work of art so little as criticism.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

For bel.i.eve me, the more on...

For bel.i.eve me, the more one is, the richer is all one experiences. And whoever wants to have deep love in his life must collect and save for it and gather honey.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

If only it were possible for ...

If only it were possible for us to see farther than our knowledge reaches, and even a little beyond the outworks of our presentiment, perhaps we would bear our sadnesses with greater trust than we have in our joys.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Yield not thy neck
To fortun...

Yield not thy neck
To fortune's yoke, but let thy dauntless mind
Still ride in triumph over all mischance.
In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands
that work on us.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Winning does not tempt that m...

Winning does not tempt that man. This is how he grows: by being defeated, decisively, by constantly greater beings.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Dig deep into your heart, whe...

Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, Must I write?

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

It’s possible, I’m moving thr...

It’s possible, I’m moving through the hard veins of heavy mountains, like an arc, alone; I’m so deep inside, I see no end in sight, and no distance: everything is getting near and everything near is turning to stone.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

You darkness, that I come fro...

You darkness, that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world, for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone, and then no one outside learns of you. But the darkness pulls in everything: shapes and fires, animals and myself, how easily it gathers them! - powers and people - and it is possible a great energy is moving near me. I have faith in nights.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

One of the most difficult tes...

One of the most difficult tests for the creator: he must always remain unconscious, unaware of his best virtues, if he doesn't want to rob them of their candor and innocence.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

If your everyday life appears...

If your everyday life appears to be unworthy subject matter, do not complain to life. Complain to yourself, Lament that you are not poet enough to call up its wealth.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

My life is not this steeply s...

My life is not this steeply sloping hour, in which you see me hurrying. Much stands behind me; I stand before it like a tree; I am only one of my many mouths, and at that, the one that will be still the soonest. I am the rest between two notes, which are somehow always in discord because Death’s note wants to climb over— but in the dark interval, reconciled, they stay there trembling. And the song goes on, beautiful.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

A merging of two people is an...

A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

. . . denn da ist keine Stell...

. . . 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 541 quotes

There exists a creature which...

There exists a creature which is perfectly harmless; when it passes before your eyes you scarcely notice it and forget it again immediately. But as soon as it invisibly gets somehow into your ears, it develops there, it hatches, as it were, and cases have been known where it was penetrated even into the brain and has thriven devastatingly in that organ, like those pneumococci in dogs that gain entrance through the nose.This creature is one's neighbor.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Your doubt can become a good ...

Your doubt can become a good quality if you train it. It must become knowing, it must become criticism.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Verses are not, as people thi...

Verses are not, as people think, feelings (those one has early enough) -- they are experiences. For the sake of a verse one must see many cities, men, and things, one must know the animals feel how birds fly, and know the gesture with which the little flowers open in the morning.
