Quotes about: Greatness

• The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Inspirational, Life, Greatness

• Go into yourself and test the deeps in which your life takes rise; at its source you will find the answer to the question whether you must create. Accept it, just as it sounds, without inquiring into it. Perhaps it will turn out that you are called to be an artist. Then take that destiny upon yourself and bear it, its burden and its greatness, without ever asking what reward might come from outside

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Artist, Greatness, Destiny

• Do you recall, from your childhood on, how very much this life of yours has longed for greatness? I see it now, how from the vantage point of greatness it longs for even greater greatness. That is why it does not let up being difficult, but that is also why it will not cease to grow.

  Rainer Maria Rilke
