"Whenever you see flies or insects in a still life-a wilted petal, a black spot on the apple-the painter is giving you a secret message. He's telling you that living things don't last-it's all temporary. Death in life. That's why they're called natures mortes. Maybe you don't see it at first with all the beauty and bloom, the little speck of rot. But if you look closer-there it is."

"Don't wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow may be too late. If we know how to live according to the insight of impermanence, we will not make many mistakes. We can be happy right now. We can love our beloved, care for her, and make her happy today. And we won't run toward the future, losing our life, which is available only in the present moment."

"Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Life itself is possible. If a grain of corn is not impermanent, it can never be transformed into a stalk of corn. If the stalk were not impermanent, it could never provide us with the ear of corn we eat."

"Wishes are memories coming from our future!"

Future

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
"That is fundamentally the only courage which is demanded of us: to be brave in the face of the strangest, most singular and most inexplicable things that can befall us."

Courage

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
"Great sadnesses, they are the moments when something new has entered into us, something unknown; our feelings grow mute in shy perplexity, everything in us withdraws, a stillness comes, and the new, which no one knows, stands in the midst of it and is silent."

Growth

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
"If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable."

Nature

Rainer Maria Rilke
"Love is like the measles. The older you get it, the worse the attack."

Love

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
"I have never been aware before how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several."

Perception

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
"For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation."

Love

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
"There are so many things about which some old man ought to tell one while one is little; for when one is grown one would know them as a matter of course."

Man

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
"One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one."

Fear

Quote_1.png
Rainer Maria Rilke
