Quotes

there is only one solitude, and it is vast, heavy, difficult to bear, and almost everyone has hours when he would gladly exchange it for any kind of sociability, however trivial or cheap, for the tiniest outward agreement with the first person who comes along.... Rainer Maria Rilke
MUSIC: Take me by the hand; it's so easy for you, Angel, for you are the roadeven while being immobile. You see, I'm scared no onehere will look for me again; I couldn't make use ofwhatever was given, so they abandoned me. At first the solitudecharmed me like a prelude, but so much music wounded me. Rainer Maria Rilke
... keep growing quietly and seriously throughout your whole development; you cannot disturb it more rudely than by looking outward and expecting from outside replies to questions that only your inmost feeling in your most hushed hour can perhaps answer.-Letter One Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough"
I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough Rainer Maria Rilke
Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his conscious reflection, his progressive steps, mysterious even to himself, should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your..."
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. ...live in the question. Rainer Maria Rilke
What else can I tell you? It seems to me that everything has its proper emphasis; and finally I want to add just one more bit of advice: to keep growing, silently and earnestly, through your whole development; you couldn't disturb it any more violently than by looking outside and waiting for outside answers to questions that only your innermost feeling, in your quietest hour, can perhaps answer. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone."
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone. Rainer Maria Rilke
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
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "Books inviting us to read, on the bookshelves stand. Piers for..."
Books inviting us to read, on the bookshelves stand. Piers for bridges that will lead, into Fairyland Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "No great art has ever been made without the artist having..."
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger. Rainer Maria Rilke
Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything. Rainer Maria Rilke
Look: the trees exist; the houseswe dwell in stand there stalwartly. Only wepass by it all, like a rush of air. And everything conspires to keep quiet about us, half out of shame perhaps, half out of some secret hope. 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. Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "At first the solitudecharmed me like a prelude, but so much..."
At first the solitudecharmed me like a prelude, but so much music wounded me.(the ending of Rilke's poem "Music") Rainer Maria Rilke
