Perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us yesterday, seperate, in the evening.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
But there is much beauty here, because there is much beauty everywhere.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Comfort me from wherever you are–alone, we are quickly worn out; if I place my head on the road, let it seem softened by you. Could it be that even from afar we offer each other a gentle breath?
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
If no one else, the dying must notice how unreal, how full of pretense, is all that we accomplish here, where nothing is allowed to be itself.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact that there is something in you that wants to move out of it.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
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.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
I love the dark hours of my being. My mind deepens into them. There I can find, as in old letters, the days of my life, already lived, and held like a legend, and understood.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
A billion stars go spinning through the night, / glittering above your head, / But in you is the presence that will be / when all the stars are dead.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
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?
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
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.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don't know if I am a falcon, or a storm, or a great song.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
That’s love: Two lonely persons keep each other safe and touch each other and talk to each other.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Yet, no matter how deeply I go down into myself, my God is dark, and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
You are not too old and it is not too late to dive into your increasing depths where life calmly gives out it's own secret
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
This is what the things can teach us: to fall, patiently to trust our heaviness. Even a bird has to do that before he can fly.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
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.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Embrace your solitude and love it. Endure the pain it causes, and try to sing out with it. For those near to you are distant...
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so, because it serenely disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrible.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. ...live in the question.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other.
Quote by -Rainer Maria Rilke
