Rainer Maria Rilke idézet

oldal 3

„Derítsd ki, mi az oka annak, hogy írsz; nézd meg, hogy a szíved mélyére terjesztette-e a gyökereit; valld be magadnak, hogy belehalnál, ha megtiltanák az írást.”

„A szeretet ebből áll: két magányosság, amely találkozik, megvédi és üdvözli egymást.”

„A szerelemben csak ezt kell gyakorolnunk: elengedni egymást. Mert a kapaszkodás könnyen jön; nem kell megtanulnunk.”

„Mert az, hogy az egyik ember szeresse a másikat: az talán a legnehezebb minden feladatunk közül,az a végső, az utolsó próba és dolog, amelyre minden más dolog csak felkészülés.”

„A szem munkája elkészült. Most menj, és dolgozz a szívedben rekedt képeken.”

„Az akarat nem fontos, a panaszkodás és a hírnév semmit nem jelentenek. Nyitottság, türelem, befogadóképesség és a magány minden, ami számít.”

„Ezt két ember közötti kötelék legfelsőbb feladatának tartom: azt hogy mindegyik őrizze a másik magányát.”

„Az életemet egyre szélesedő körökben élem, amelyek az egész világra kiterjednek.”

„Azokkal akarok lenni, akik ismernek titkos dolgokat, különben inkább egyedül lennék.”

„Rózsa, te tiszta ellentmondás, gyönyörüség,
Annyi temérdek pilla alatt senkisem alszik.”

„Hogyha elvesztlek, no mondd,
tudsz-e úgy elaludni többet,
hogy ne susogjak majd fölötted,
mint a széles hársfalomb?”

„Hogyha kiáltanék, ki hallana engem
az angyalok rendjéből? és ha netán a szivére
vonna hirtelen egyik: én belepusztulnék
az erősebb lét közelébe. Mert hisz a Szép nem más,
mint az iszonyu kezdete, mit még elviselünk,
s mennyire bámuljuk, mert megveti szenvtelenül, hogy
összetiporjon. Iszonyu minden angyal.”

„S csillagként ragyog fel majd felettem
a mosoly, mely rajtad bujdokolt.”

„Higgyetek egy olyan szeretetben, amely örökségként van elraktározva számotokra, és higgyetek abban, hogy ebben a szeretetben olyan nagy erő és áldás van, hogy olyan messzire utazhattok, amennyire csak akartok, anélkül, hogy ki kellene lépnetek belőle.”

“He does not always remain bent over the
pages; he often leans back and closes
his eyes over a line he has been reading
again, and its meaning spreads through
his blood.”

“She followed slowly, taking a long time,
As though there were some obstacles in the way;
And yet: as though, once it was overcome,
She would be beyond all walking, and would fly.”

“All the soarings of my mind begin in my blood.”

“Let your beauty manifest itself
without talking and calculation.​
You are silent. It says for you: I am.
And comes in meaning thousandfold​,
comes at long last over everyone.”

“Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.”

“As if no one had ever tried before, try to say what you see and feel and love and lose.”

“Earth, my dearest, oh believe me, you no longer need your springtimes to win me over… Unspeakably, I have belonged to you, from the flush.”

“Look: the trees exist; the houses
we dwell in stand there stalwartly.
Only we
pass by it all, like a rush of air.
And everything conspires to keep quiet
about us,
half out of shame perhaps, half out of
some secret hope.”

“Strangely, I heard a stranger say, I am with you.”

“Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are.”

“Be of good courage all is before you, and time passed in the difficult is never lost… What is required of us is that we live the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us.”

“But because truly being here is so much; because everything here apparently needs us, this fleeting world, which in some strange way keeps calling to us. Us, the most fleeting of all.”

“Never forget that solitude is my lot… I implore those who love me to love my solitude."

(, May 11, 1910)”

“Whoever you are, go out into the evening,
leaving your room, of which you know every bit;
your house is the last before the infinite,
whoever you are.”

“A work of art is good if it has grown out of necessity.”

to say, what you, in your aloneness, are;
and they learn through you to live distantness,
as the evenings through the great stars
become accustomed to eternity.”

“You darkness, that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world.”
