Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Poetry is the past that breaks out in our hearts.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “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?”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “If your everyday life seems to lack material, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to summon up its riches, for there is no lack for him who creates and no poor, trivial place.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “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 Quote: “Don’t petals of soft words float upon your blood?”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Works of art are of an infinite loneliness and with nothing so little to be reached as with criticism. Only love can grasp and hold and be just toward them.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “There is no more wretched prison than the fear of hurting someone who loves you.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Why should you want to give up a child’s wise not-understanding in exchange for defensiveness and scorn, since not-understanding is, after all, a way of being alone, whereas defensiveness and scorn are a participation in precisely what, by these means, you want to separate yourself from.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “The comprehensible slips away, is transformed; instead of possession one learns connection.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Whoever you are: in the evening step out of your room, where you know everything;.”

Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Nothing touches a work of art so little as criticism.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Who has not sat, afraid, before his heart’s curtain?”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Things are not as easy to understand and say as we might prefer to believe; most events are inexpressible, happening in a space where no word has ever set foot, and most inexpressible of all are works of art, mysterious existences, whose life continues as ours passes away.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Live for a while in these books, learn from them what you feel is worth learning, but most of all love them. This love will be returned to you thousands upon thousands of times, whatever your life may become – it will, I am sure, go through the while fabric of your becoming, as one of the most important threads among all the threads of your experiences, disappointments, and joys.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “So whoever loves must try to act as if he had a great work: he must be much alone and go into himself and collect himself and hold fast to himself; he must work; he must become something!”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “To keep growing, silently and earnestly, through your while development; you couldn’t disturb it any more violently than by looking outside and waiting for outside answers to question that only your innermost feeling, in your quietest hour, can perhaps answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Let me put aside every desire, so that my heart grows used to its farthest spaces. Better that it live fully aware, in the terror of its stars, than as if protected, soothed by what is near.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Whether it be the singing of a lamp or the voice of a storm, whether it be the breath of an evening or the groan of the ocean – whatever surrounds you, a broad melody always wakes behind you, woven out of a thousand voices, where there is room for your own solo only here and there. To know when you need to join in: that is the secret of your solitude: just as the art of true interactions with others is to let yourself fall away from high words into a single common melody.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Beauty will become paltry and insignificant when one looks for it only in what is pleasing; there it might be found occasionally but it resides and lies awake in each thing where it encloses itself, and it emerges only for the individual who believes that it is present everywhere and who will not move on until he has stubbornly coaxed it forth.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “For 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.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Your inmost happening is worth your whole love, that is what you must somehow work at, and not lose too much time and too much courage in explaining.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Don’t you see that everything that happens is always a beginning again.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Society has been able to create refuges of every sort, for since it preferred to take love-life as an amusement, it also had to give it an easy form, cheap, safe, and sure, as public amusements are.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise...”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Truly being here is glorious.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confident in the storms of spring without the fear that after them may come no summer. It does come. But it comes only to the patient, who are there as though eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly still and wide. I learn it daily, learn it with pain to which I am grateful: patience is everything!”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “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 Quote: “More belongs to marriage than four legs in a bed.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “My old furniture is rotting in a barn where I was permitted to store it, and as for myself, dear God, I don’t have a roof over my head and it is raining into my eyes.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Have patience with everything unresolved in you heart and try to love the questions themselves. It is possible to live and not know.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “The essence of love lies not in communion, but in the fact that each partner forces the other to become something, something infinitely great, the extreme limit of his strength.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “God... sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, Must I write?”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Stand up during supper and walk outdoors, and keep on walking.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “I love the dark hours of my being. My mind deepens into them.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Weltinnenraum,” “world-inner-space”. It is most often used to speak that essential space within the heart of a human being.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “The future stands firm... but we move in infinite space.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Amid these fading and decaying things, be the glass that rings out as it’s breaking.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Why should you want to exclude from your life all unsettling, all pain, all depression of spirit, when you don’t know what work it is these states are performing within you?”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “One has to be able at every moment to place one’s hand on the earth like the first human being.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “It seems to me that the only way one can be helpful is to extend one’s hand to someone else involuntarily, and without ever knowing how useful this will be.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “I never read anything concerning my work. I feel that criticism is a letter to the public which the author, since it is not directed to him, does not have to open and read.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Things are not as easily understood nor as expressible as people usually would like us to believe. Most happenings are beyond expression; they exist where a word has never intruded.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Surely all art is the result of one’s having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further. The further one goes, the more private, the more personal, the more singular an experience becomes, and the thing one is making is, finally, the necessary, irrepressible, and as nearly as possible, the definitive utterance of this singularity.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “A world will come over you, the happiness, the abundance, the incomprehensible immensity of a world. Live a while in these books, learn from them what seems to you worth learning, but above all love them. This love will be repaid you a thousand and a thousand times, and however your life may turn, – it will, I am certain of it, run through the fabric of your growth as one of the most important threads among all the threads of your experience, disappointments and joys.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Do you remember how this life of yours longed in childhood to belong to the grown-ups? I can see that it now longs to move on from them and is drawn to those who are greater yet. That is why it does not cease to be difficult, but also why it will not cease to grow.”
Rainer Maria Rilke Quote: “Poetic power is great, strong as a primitive instinct; it has its own unyielding rhythms in itself and breaks out as out of mountains.”
