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

“we want it visible”

“Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”

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

“This is the creature there has never been.”

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

“And when suddenly”

“Hey you, dragging the halo-”

“It is difficult to write a paradiso when all the superficial indications are that you ought to write an apocalypse.”

“Safety isn't always safe. You can find one on every gun.”

“You lethargic, waiting upon me,”

“The days aren't discarded or collected, they are bees”

“She lives the poetry she cannot write.”
