Yield not thy neck

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

I want to love the things as n...

I want to love the things as no one has thought to love them.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Fame is the sum of the misunderstanding that gathers about a new name.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Think... of the world you carr...

Think... of the world you carry within you, and call this thinking whatever you want to: a remembering of your own childhood or a yearning toward a future of your own - only be attentive to what is arising within you, and place that above everything you perceive around you. What is happening in your innermost self is worthy of your entire love; somehow you must find a way to work at it.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I am touched by your beautiful...

I am touched by your beautiful anxiety about life...

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

The leaves are falling, fallin...

The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,as if orchards were dying high in space.Each leaf falls as if it were motioning 'no.'And tonight the heavy earth is fallingaway from all other stars in the loneliness.We're all falling. This hand here is falling.And look at the other one. It's in them all.And yet there is Someone, whose handsinfinitely calm, holding up all this falling.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Nothing strange should befall ...

Nothing strange should befall us, but only that which has long belonged to us. We will gradually learn to realize that that which we call destiny goes forth from within people, not from without into them.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Why don't you conceive of God ...

Why don't you conceive of God as an ally who is coming, who has been approaching since time began, the one who will someday arrive, the fruit of a tree whose leaves we are? Why not project his birth into the future, and live your life as an excruciating and lyrical moment in the history of a prodigious pregnancy?

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Don't take my devils away, bec...

Don't take my devils away, because my angels may flee too.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

God speaks to each of us as he...

God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don't let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

And one of the things I find m...

And one of the things I find most moving is the way people with infirmities manage to embrace Life, and from the cool flowers by the wayside reach conclusions about the vast splendour of its great gardens. They can, if their souls' strings are finely tuned, arrive with much less effort at the feeling of eternity; for everything we do, they may dream. And precisely where our deeds end, theirs begin to bear fruit.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Somewhere there is an ancient ...

Somewhere there is an ancient enmity between our daily life and the great work. Help me in saying it, to understand it.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I believe that nothing that is...

I believe that nothing that is real can pass away.

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

You must change your life....

You must change your life.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Never has grief been possessed...

Never has grief been possessed, never has love been learned, and what removes us in death is not revealed.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Works of art always spring fro...

Works of art always spring from those who have faced the danger, gone to the very end of an experience, to the point beyond which no human being can go. The further one dares to go, the more decent, the more personal, the more unique a life becomes.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Go on loving what is good, simple, and ordinary.

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.

Painting is something that takes place among the colors.
