Rainer Maria Rilke quotes
only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible, will live the relationship with another person as something alive and will himself sound the depths of his own being.
May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.
Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
All Rainer Maria Rilke quotes ⇑
I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other.
If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.
