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

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

“It was not in me It came and went”

“Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were”

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

“This is the creature there has never been.”

“Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other.”

“Sufilere sohbet gerek”

“I'm bereft of poetry”

“I took her to bed with silk and song”

“Fireflies, to me, are nighttime butterflies,”

“Think long thoughts in short sentences.”

“I love the silent hour of night,”
