Quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke

today, i share with you some of my fave quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke, one of Germany's most famous poets.
(how i wish my mastery of German were advanced enough to enjoy his poems in the original, but nevermind, i will read the translations and be content)

Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.

Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.

The only journey is the one within.

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