I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Love the questions, themselve...

Love the questions, themselves.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

That is at bottom the only co...

That is at bottom the only courage that is demanded of us: to have courage for the most strange, the most singular, and the most inexplicable that we may encounter.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

What is needed is, in the end...

What is needed is, in the end, simply this: solitude, great inner solitude.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Why should you want to give u...

Why should you want to give up a child's wise not-understanding in exchange for defensiveness and scorn, since not-understanding is, after all, a way of being alone, whereas defensiveness and scorn are a participation in precisely what, by these means, you want to separate yourself from.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I beg you, to have patience w...

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 541 quotes

Do continue to believe that w...

Do continue to believe that with your feeling and with your work you are taking part in the greatest; the more strongly you cultivate in yourself this belief, the more will reality and world go forth from it.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Have patience with everything...

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves...At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Read as little as possible of...

Read as little as possible of literary criticism - such things are either partisan opinions, which have become petrified and meaningless, hardened and empty of life, or else they are just clever word-games, in which one view wins today, and tomorrow the opposite view. Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

The creator must be a world f...

The creator must be a world for himself and must find everything in himself and in Nature, to whom his whole life is devoted.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

The necessary thing is after ...

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 541 quotes

Go into yourself. Dig into yo...

Go into yourself. Dig into yourself for a deep answer

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Fate loves to invent patterns...

Fate loves to invent patterns and designs. Its difficulty lies in complexity. But life itself is difficult because of its simplicity. It has only a few things of a grandeur not fit for us.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I want to unfold. I don't wan...

I want to unfold. I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie, and I want my grasp of things to be true. I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a long time, like a saying that I finally understood, like the pitcher I use every day, like the face of my mother, like a ship that carried me through the wildest storm of all.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

How I will cherish you then, ...

How I will cherish you then, you grief-torn nights! Had I only received you, inconsolable sisters, on more abject knees, only buried myself with more abandon in your loosened hair. How we waste our afflictions! We study them, stare out beyond them into bleak continuance, hoping to glimpse some end. Whereas they're really our wintering foliage, our dark greens of meaning, one of the seasons of the clandestine year -- ; not only a season --: they're site, settlement, shelter, soil, abode.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

At the bottom no one in life ...

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 541 quotes

For poems are not, as people ...

For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)-they are experiences.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I would like to sing someone ...

I would like to sing someone to sleep, to sit beside someone and be there. I would like to rock you and sing softly and go with you to and from sleep. I would like to be the one in the house who knew: The night was cold. And I would like to listen in and listen out into you, into the world, into the woods. The clocks shout to one another striking, and one sees to the bottom of time. And down below one last, strange man walks by and rouses a strange dog. And after that comes silence. I have laid my eyes upon you wide; and they hold you gently and let you go when something stirs in the dark.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

But because truly being here ...

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.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Girls, there are poets who le...

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.
