Rainer Maria Rilke Tasks Quotations

The artist's task consists of making one thing of many, and a world from the smallest part of a thing.

Those tasks that have been entrusted to us are difficult; almost everything serious is difficult; and everything is serious.

Our task is to take this earth so deeply and wholly into ourselves that it will resurrect within our being.
