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
Take your well-disciplined strengths, stretch them between the two great opposing poles, because inside human beings is where God learns. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "Beauty is only the start of bearable terror."
Beauty is only the start of bearable terror. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "But there is much beauty here, because there is much beauty..."
But there is much beauty here, because there is much beauty everywhere. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror."
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Rainer Maria Rilke
At no other time (than autumn) does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost. Rainer Maria Rilke
Interior of the hand. Sole that has come to walkonly on feelings. That faces upwardand in its mirrorreceives heavenly roads, which travelalong themselves. That has learned to walk upon waterwhen it scoops, that walks upon wells, transfiguring every path. That steps into other hands, changes those that are like itinto a landscape: wanders and arrives within them, fills them with arrival. Rainer Maria Rilke
A man taken out of his room and, almost without preparation or transition, placed on the heights of a great mountain range, would feel something like that: an unequalled insecurity, an abandonment to the nameless, would almost annihilate him. He would feel he was falling or think he was being catapulted out into space or exploded into a thousand pieces: what a colossal lie his brain would have to invent in order to catch up with and explain the situation of his senses. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. That..."
A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. That is the only way one can judge it. Rainer Maria Rilke
...always the wish that you may find patience enough in yourself to endure, and simplicity enough to believe; that you may acquire more and more confidence in that which is difficult, and in your solitude among others. Rainer Maria Rilke
only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible, will live the relationship with another person as something alive and will himself sound the depths of his own being. Rainer Maria Rilke
... And still it is not enough to have memories. One must be able to forget them when they are many, and one must have the great patience to wait until they come again. For it is not yet the memories themselves. Not until they have turned to blood within us, to glance, to gesture, nameless and no longer to be distinguished from ourselves - not until then can it happen that in a most rare hour the first word of a verse arises in their midst and goes forth from them. Rainer Maria Rilke
Whom will you cry to, heart? More and more lonely, your path struggles on through incomprehensiblemankind. All the more futile perhapsfor keeping to its direction, keeping on toward the future, toward what has been lost. Once. You lamented? What was it? A fallen berryof jubilation, unripe. But now the whole tree of my jubilationis breaking, in the storm it is breaking, my slowtree of joy. Loveliest in my invisiblelandscape, you that made me more knownto the invisible angels. 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. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "Shattered people are best represented by bits and pieces."
Shattered people are best represented by bits and pieces. Rainer Maria Rilke
