Truth Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Every angel is terrifying.”

“The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.”

“Isn’t it time that these most ancient sorrows of ours”

“You darkness, that I come from,”

“It is always what I have already said: 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. And for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me: life is right, in any case.”

“That’s love: Two lonely persons keep each other safe and touch each other and talk to each other.”

“The cold rationalism simply covers for raw, wounded emotion. The more driven people are by the mind, the more they feel and further encode their feelings. The thickness of the tarpaulin cover is as the size of the emotion.”

“There are two kinds of truth; The truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science and the second is art.”

“[...] provability is a weaker notion than truth”

“Not every instance requires a response. Truth resides silently in the seat of power.”

“Many years ago someone told me something that I flatly refused to accept. And I still don't accept it now, despite all the times I've seen it proved right.”

“There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.”
