More Quotes from 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.Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it blame yourself admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches because for the creator there is no poverty and no indifferent place.
Rainer Maria Rilke
It's this dress that she'll remember
later in a sweet surrender;
when her whole life is full of risks,
the little red dress will always seem right.
