Rilke

Famous quotes containing the word rilke:

    Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through.
    —Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)

    The great renewal of the world will perhaps consist in this, that man and maid, freed of all false feelings and reluctances, will seek each other not as opposites, but as brother and sister, as neighbors, and will come together as human beings.
    —Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)

    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 (1875–1926)
