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

“A billion stars go spinning through the night,”

“How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.”

“I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough.”

“You, God, who live next door--”

“I want my own will, and I want”

“Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final”

“I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against”

“INTO MY OWN”

“The bed we loved in was a spinning world”

“I”

“you’re already naked in this world”

“Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.”
