Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes

What batters you becomes your strength Picture Quote #1

But your solitude will be a support and a home for you, even in the midst of very unfamiliar circumstances, and from it you will find all your paths Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The quieter we are, the more patient and open we are in our sadnesses, the more deeply and serenely the new presence can enter us, and the more we can make it our own, the more it becomes our fate Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism: they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings Picture Quote #1

Perhaps creating something is nothing but an act of profound remembrance Picture Quote #1

Deeply I go down into myself. My God is Dark and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Harshness vanished. A sudden softness has replaced the meadows’ wintry grey. Little rivulets of water changed their singing accents. Tendernesses, hesitantly, reach toward the earth from space, and country lanes are showing these unexpected subtle risings that find expression in the empty trees Picture Quote #1

There would have to be bread, some rich, whole-grain bread and zwieback, and perhaps on a long, narrow dish some pale Westphalian ham laced with strips of white fat like an evening sky with bands of clouds. There would be some tea ready to be drunk, yellowish golden tea in glasses with silver saucers, giving off a faint fragrance Picture Quote #1

Understand, I’ll slip quietly away from the noisy crowd when I see the pale stars rising, blooming, over the oaks. I’ll pursue solitary pathways through the pale twilit meadows with only this one dream: You come too Picture Quote #1

Ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write [create]? Dig into yourself for a deep answer Picture Quote #1

That is why young people, who are beginners in everything, are not yet capable of love: it is something they must learn. With their whole being, with all their forces, gathered around their solitary, anxious, upward-beating heart, they must learn to love Picture Quote #1

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky Picture Quote #1

He who understands one thing understands everything, for the same laws are in all Picture Quote #1

Works of art are of an infinite loneliness and with nothing so little to be reached as with criticism Picture Quote #1

Speaking of August Rodin: He raised his world above us in an immense arc, and made it a part of nature Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave Picture Quote #1

Think: the hero prolongs himself, even his fallingwas only a pretext for being, his latest rebirth Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have patience for centuries in me and will live as though my time were very big Picture Quote #1

If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for the Creator, there is no poverty Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In one creative thought a thousand forgotten nights of love revive, filling it with sublimity and exaltation Picture Quote #1

Only those sadnesses are dangerous and bad which one carries about among people in order to drown them out Picture Quote #1

Never has grief been possessed, never has love been learned, and what removes us in death is not revealed Picture Quote #1

Perhaps everything terrible is, in its deepest being, something that needs our love Picture Quote #1
