More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke

"You darkness, that I come from,I love you more than all the firesthat fence in the world,for the fire makesa circle of light for everyone,and then no one outside learns of you.But the darkness pulls in everything:shapes and fires, animals and myself,how easily it gathers them! -powers and people -and it is possible a great energyis moving near me.I have faith in nights."
"Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other."
"No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger."
"Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always."
"The only journey is the one within."
