  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Sex, Pain, Lying

  Rainer Maria Rilke (2001). “Letters to a Young Poet”

• Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Beautiful, Taken, Creativity

  Letter to his wife (October 21, 1907). "Letters on Cézanne". Book by Rainer Maria Rilke, 1952.
