Everything is gestation and then bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life, in understanding and in creating. There is no measuring in 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 its sap and stands confident in the storms of spring without fear that after them may come no summer.
Rainer Maria RilkeΕνώ σ’ εκείνη απονέμεται δίπλωμα στην τέχνη του έρωτα, αυτός κυκλοφορεί με μια γραμματική για αρχαρίους στην τσέπη
Rainer Maria RilkeΑν δεν αντιστάθηκα σ’ αυτήν που με αγάπησε, είναι γιατί απ’ όλους τους τρόπους, με τους οποίους μπορεί ένας άνθρωπος να κατακτήσει έναν άλλον, μονάχα ο δικός της ασυγκράτητος, μου φάνηκε δίκαιος. Όντως έτσι όπως είμαι εκτίθεμαι και δεν θέλησα να αποφύγω ούτε και εκείνη. Λαχταρούσα όμως να τη διαπεράσω! Να γίνει παράθυρο για ν’ ατενίζω διευρυμένο το σύμπαν της ύπαρξης

Our task is to take this earth so deeply and wholly into ourselves that it will resurrect within our being.
Rainer Maria RilkeLovers, if Angels could understand them, might utter
strange things in the midnight air. For it seems that everything's
trying to hide us. Look, the trees exist; the houses
we live in still stand where they were. We only
pass everything by like a transposition of air.
And all combines to suppress us, partly as shame,
perhaps, and partly as inexpressible hope.
So don't be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don't know what work they are accomplishing within you?

Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
So you mustn’t be frightened, if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety, like light and cloud-shadows, moves over your hands and over everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall.
Long you must suffer, knowing not what,
until suddenly out of spitefully chewed fruit your suffering's taste comes forth in you.
Then you will love almost instantly what's tasted. No one will ever talk you out of it.

I do not wish to say that one should love death; but one should love life so magnanimously, so without calculating and selecting, that love of death (the turned-away side of life) is continually and involuntarily included - which actually happens invariably in the great motions of love, which are impetuous and illimitable.
Rainer Maria RilkeSomeday there will be girls and women whose name will no longer mean the mere opposite of the male, but something in itself, something that makes one think not of any complement and limit, but only life and reality: the female human being.
