Rainer Maria Rilke
Destiny, Hands, Wonderful
Rainer Maria Rilke (2010). “Letters to a Young Poet”, p.24, New World Library

Your life will still find its own paths from there, and that they may be good, rich, and wide is what I wish for you, more than I can say.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Life, Destiny, Wish
"Letters to a Young Poet".

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

Never believe fate is more than the condensation of childhood.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Believe, Fate, Destiny
Rainer Maria Rilke (2013). “Duino Elegies/Duineser Elegien: A Dual-Language Book”, p.53, Courier Corporation

Nothing strange should befall us, but only that which has long belonged to us. We will gradually learn to realize that that which we call destiny goes forth from within people, not from without into them.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Destiny, Long, People
