More Quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke:
At the bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity that one is alone. That isn't as bad as it may first appear and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself his fate, his future, his whole expanse and world.Rainer Maria Rilke
You, to whom life would taste
so bitter, Father, after you - for my sake -
slipped of mine, that first muddy infusion
of my necessity.
Rainer Maria Rilke
We have no reason
to show death admiration, love or hate;
his mask of feigned tragic lament gives us
Rainer Maria Rilke

Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day. Letters to a Young Poet.
