More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke

"Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always."
"Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.And without feet I can make my way to you,without a mouth I can swear your name.Break off my arms, I'll take hold of youwith my heart as with a hand.Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.And if you consume my brain with fire,I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood."
"There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult."
"Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write."
"That’s love: Two lonely persons keep each other safe and touch each other and talk to each other."
