My art is representational by ...

My art is representational by choice....if the art of painting is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

If we surrendered to earth's i...

If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees. Instead we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making and struggle, lonely and confused. So like children, we begin again... to fall, patiently to trust our heaviness. Even a bird has to do that before he can fly. (from the poem 'How Sure Gravity's Law')

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

It is clear that we must embra...

It is clear that we must embrace struggle. Every living thing conforms to it. Everything in nature grows and struggles in its own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost, against all resistance.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Children are still the way you...

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 541 quotes

If, when you wake up in the mo...

If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing . . . then you are a writer.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Live the questions now....

Live the questions now.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I live my life in widening cir...

I live my life in widening circle That reach out across the world. I may not ever complete the last one, But I give myself to it. I circle around God, that primordial tower. I have been circling for thousands of years, And I still don't know: am I a falcon, A storm, or a great song? [I, 2]

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Perhaps somewhere, someplace d...

Perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

The most visible joy can only ...

The most visible joy can only reveal itself to us when we've transformed it, within.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

We have no reason to mistrust ...

We have no reason to mistrust our world, for it is not against us. Has it terrors, they are our terrors; has it abysses, those abysses belong to us; are dangers at hand, we must try to love them.... Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Someday there will be girls an...

Someday there will be girls and women whose name will no longer mean the mere opposite of the male, but something in itself, something that makes one think not of any complement and limit, but only life and reality: the female human being.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

To write rhythmic prose one mu...

To write rhythmic prose one must go deep into oneself and find the anonymous and multiple rhythm of the blood. Prose needs to be built like a cathedral. There, one is truly without a name, without ambition, without help; on scaffoldings, alone with one's consciousness.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Everything is gestation and br...

Everything is gestation and bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

The deep parts of my life pour...

The deep parts of my life pour onward, as if the river shores were opening out. I feel closer to what language can't reach. With my senses, as with birds, I climb into the windy heaven... in the ponds broken off from the sky. . .

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Of all my books, I find only a...

Of all my books, I find only a few indispensible.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Just as language has no longer...

Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connection with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Be-and yet know the great void...

Be-and yet know the great void where all things begin, the infinite source of your own most intense vibration, so that, this once, you may give it your perfect assent.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

To all that is used-up, and to...

To all that is used-up, and to all the muffled and dumb creatures in the world's full reserve, the unsayable sums, joyfully add yourself, and cancel the count.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

God... sat down for a moment w...

God... sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Be forever dead in Eurydice-mo...

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.
