There is here no measuring with time, no year matters, and ten years are nothing. Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force it's sap and stands confident in the storms of Spring without the fear that after them may come no Summer. It does come. I learn it daily, learn it with pain to which I am grateful
More Quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke:

when her whole life is full of risks,
the little red dress will always seem right.
Rainer Maria Rilke

it held me warm and gave me courage.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
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
