Love the questions themselves...

Love the questions themselves...Live the questions now and have confidence that someday far into the future, [I will live my] way into the answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Stand up during supper and wa...

Stand up during supper and walk outdoors, and keep on walking.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

It is good to say it aloud: '...

It is good to say it aloud: 'Nothing has happened.' Once again: 'Nothing has happened.' Does that help?"

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Weren't you always distracted...

Weren't you always distracted by expectation, as if every event announced a beloved? (Where can you find a place to keep her, with all the huge strange thoughts inside you going and coming and often staying all night.).

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

You have had many and great s...

You have had many and great sadnesses, which passed. And you say that even this passing was hard for you and put you out of sorts. But, please, consider whether these great sadnesses have not rather gone right through the center of yourself? Whether much in you has not altered, whether you have not somewhere, at some point of your being, undergone a change when you were sad?

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Only those sadnesses are dang...

Only those sadnesses are dangerous and bad which one carries about among people in order to drown them out.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Why don't you think of [God] ...

Why don't you think of [God] as the one who is coming, who has been approaching from all eternity... the ultimate fruit of a tree whose leaves we are.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

If we only arrange our life i...

If we only arrange our life in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, then what now appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience. How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

And you suddenly know: It was...

And you suddenly know: It was here! You pull yourself together, and there stands an irrevocable year of anguish and vision and prayer.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Be ahead of all parting, as t...

Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were behind you, like the winter that has just gone by. For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter that only by wintering through it will your heart survive.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Isn't it time that these most...

Isn't it time that these most ancient sorrows of ours grew fruitful? Time that we tenderly loosed ourselves from the loved one, and, unsteadily, survived: the way the arrow, suddenly all vector, survives the string to be more than itself. For abiding is nowhere.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

If there is anything unhealth...

If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

And these things that keep al...

And these things that keep alive on departure know that you praise them; transient, they look to us, the most transient, to be their rescue. They want us to change them completely, in our invisible hearts, into -- O endlessly -- us! Whoever, finally, we may be.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Swells, Marina? we ocean, dep...

Swells, Marina? we ocean, depths, Marina? we sky!

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Of all my books, I find only ...

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

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

May I strike my heart's keys ...

May I strike my heart's keys clearly, and may none fail because of slack, uncertain, or fraying strings. May the tears that stream down my face make me more radiant: may my hidden weeping bloom.... How we waste our afflictions!... [T]hey'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

Someday there will be girls a...

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

Nothing touches a work of art...

Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism: they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

In the night, I wish to speak...

In the night, I wish to speak with the angel to find out if she recognizes my eyes, if she will ask me: do you see Eden? And I’ll reply: Eden burns.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Children are still the way yo...

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.
