Varianta: Málo je důležitá vůle, nic není stěžování, stejně jako sláva. Otevřenost, trpělivost, pochopení, samota je všechno.

Rainer Maria Rilke: Citáty anglicky
“I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough.”
Number 2 (as translated by Cliff Crego)
I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough
to truly consecrate the hour.
I am much too small in this world, yet not small enough
to be to you just object and thing,
dark and smart.
I want my free will and want it accompanying
the path which leads to action;
and want during times that beg questions,
where something is up,
to be among those in the know,
or else be alone.
(as translated by Annemarie S. Kidder)
Das Stunden-Buch (The Book of Hours) (1905)
Zdroj: Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God
Kontext: I am too alone in the world, and yet not alone enough
to make every hour holy.
I am too small in the world, and yet not tiny enough
just to stand before you like a thing,
dark and shrewd.
I want my will, and I want to be with my will
as it moves towards deed;
and in those quiet, somehow hesitating times,
when something is approaching,
I want to be with those who are wise
or else alone.
Letter Three (23 April 1903)
Letters to a Young Poet (1934)
Kontext: No experience has been too unimportant, and the smallest event unfolds like a fate, and fate itself is like a wonderful, wide fabric in which every thread is guided by an infinitely tender hand and laid alongside another thread and is held and supported by a hundred others.
“Rose, oh pure contradiction, desire,
To be no one's sleep under so many
Lids.”
Rose, oh reiner Widerspruch, Lust,
Niemandes Schlaf zu sein unter soviel
Lidern.
Rilke wrote his own epitaph sometime before October 27, 1925. He requested that it be inscribed on his gravestone. This was fifteen months before his death. (Translation: John J.L.Mood)

“And as for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.”
Varianta: Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.

First Elegy (as translated by Stephen Mitchell)
Zdroj: Duino Elegies (1922)
Kontext: Yes—the springtimes needed you. Often a star
was waiting for you to notice it. A wave rolled toward you
out of the distant past, or as you walked
under an open window, a violin
yielded itself to your hearing. All this was mission.
But could you accomplish it? Weren't you always
distracted by expectation, as if every event
announced a beloved? (Where can you find a place
to keep her, with all the huge strange thoughts inside you
going and coming and often staying all night.)
“Do not allow yourself to be misled by the surfaces of things.”
