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

“His vision, from the constantly passing bars,”

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

“I want my own will, and I want”

“How can I keep my soul in me, so that”

“Why don't you think of [God] as the one who is coming, who has been approaching from all eternity... the ultimate fruit of a tree whose leaves we are.”

“Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.”

“If I could I would nail these hands to the edges of stars. I would sacrifice this body to the sky hoping to resurrect as someone spiteful enough to not care about you.”

“But at my back I always hear”

“But you hate poetry!”

“If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words.”

“I love a sunburnt country,”

“why be bothered with other people's set-ups? it only leads to torture.”
