most people come to know only...

most people come to know only one corner of their room, one spot near the window, one narrow strip on which they keep walking back and forth.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

It almost seems as if autumn ...

It almost seems as if autumn were the true creator, more creative than the spring, which is too even-toned, more creative when it comes with its will-to-change and shatters the much too ready-made, self-satisfied and really almost bourgeois-complacent image of summer.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Dying is strange and hard if ...

Dying is strange and hard if it is not our death, but a death that takes us by storm, when we've ripened none within us.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

FALLING STARS: Do you remembe...

FALLING STARS: Do you remember still the falling stars that like swift horses through the heavens raced and suddenly leaped across the hurdles of our wishes -- do you recall? And we did make so many! For there were countless numbers of stars: each time we looked above we were astounded by the swiftness of their daring play, while in our hearts we felt safe and secure watching these brilliant bodies disintegrate, knowing somehow we had survived their fall.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Be ahead of all farewells as ...

Be ahead of all farewells as if they were behind you, like the winter that is just departing.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

That is the principal thing-n...

That is the principal thing-not to remain with the dream, with the intention, with the being-in-the-mood, but always forcibly to convert it all into things.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Ask yourself in the most sile...

Ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write [create]? Dig into yourself for a deep answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Look, lovers: almost separate...

Look, lovers: almost separately they come towards us through the flowery grass and slowly; parting's so far from thought of, they indulge the extravagance of walking unembraced.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

How can I keep my soul in me,...

How can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things?

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Never believe fate is more than the condensation of childhood.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

It is not inertia alone that ...

It is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical will live the relation to another as something alive.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

They all have tired mouths an...

They all have tired mouths and bright seamless souls. And a longing (as for sin) sometimes haunts their dreams. They are almost all alike; in God's gardens they keep still, like many, many intervals in his might and melody. Only when they spread their wings are they wakers of a wind: as if God with his broad sculptor- hands leafed through the pages in the dark book of the beginning.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Rose, oh pure contradiction, ...

Rose, oh pure contradiction, joy of being No-one's sleep under so many lids.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

No one can advise or help you...

No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write, find out wether it spreading out its root in the deepest places of your heart...Delve into yourself for a deep answer

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Painting is something that ta...

Painting is something that takes place among the colors, and one has to leave them alone completely, so that they can settle the matter among themselves. Their intercourse: this is the whole of painting. Whoever meddles, arranges, injects his human deliberation, his wit, his advocacy, his intellectual agility in any way, is already disturbing and clouding their activity.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Physical pleasure is a sensua...

Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

She who reconciles the ill-ma...

She who reconciles the ill-matched threads Of her life, and weaves them gratefully Into a single cloth – It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall And clears it for a different celebration.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Works of Art are of an infinite loneliness.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

He was a worker whose only de...

He was a worker whose only desire was to penetrate with all his forces into the humble and difficult significance of his tools. Therein lay a certain renunciation of Life, but in just this renunciation lay his triumph, for Life entered into his work.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

As if no one had ever tried before, try to say what you see and feel and love and lose.
