Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• Sometime we will have to stop overevaluating the word. We shall learn to realize that it is only one of the many bridges that connect the island of our soul with the great continent of common life. . . the broadest, perhaps, but in no way the most refined.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Islands, Bridges, Soul

• How can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things?

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Past, Soul, Enough

  Rainer Maria Rilke, “Love Song”

• They all have tired mouths and bright seamless souls. And a longing (as for sin) sometimes haunts their dreams. They are almost all alike; in God's gardens they keep still, like many, many intervals in his might and melody. Only when they spread their wings are they wakers of a wind: as if God with his broad sculptor- hands leafed through the pages in the dark book of the beginning.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Dream, Book, Tired

  Rainer Maria Rilke (2014). “The Book of Images”, p.31, North Point Press

• And one of the things I find most moving is the way people with infirmities manage to embrace Life, and from the cool flowers by the wayside reach conclusions about the vast splendour of its great gardens. They can, if their souls' strings are finely tuned, arrive with much less effort at the feeling of eternity; for everything we do, they may dream. And precisely where our deeds end, theirs begin to bear fruit.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Dream, Flower, Moving
