Rainer Maria Rilke
All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.

Emotional Sides Lift You Up

More From Rainer Maria Rilke

All feelings that concentrate you and lift you up are pure; only that feeling is impure which grasps just one side of your being and thus distorts you. everything you can think of as you face your childhood, is good. everything that makes more of you than you have ever been, even in your best hours, is right. every intensification is good, if it is in your entire blood, if it isn't intoxication or muddiness, but joy which you can see into, clear to the bottom.
Thinking Blood Childhood
Never put much confidence in such as put no confidence in others. a man prone to suspect evil is mostly looking in his neighbor for what he sees in himself. as to the pure all things are pure, even so to the impure all things are impure.
Men Evil Neighbor
Some people say, "sometimes i have violent thoughts, what can i do?" so i say, "well, have them!" cos we should not try to control ourselves. it's very bad to control ourselves in this sense. if you have any emotion at all, if its a bad emotion or good emotion, think about it, you should just understand that you have those emotions. and it's good because we are people and we have all these emotions. and the result of that is you would become more and more peaceful. if you don't let those emotions be inside of you then you become extremely violent.
Thinking People Peaceful
A great emotion is too selfish ; it takes into itself all the blood of the spirit, and the congestion leaves the hands too cold to write. three sorts of emotion produce great poetry - strong but quick emotions, seized upon for art as soon as they have passed, but not before they have passed ; strong and deep emotions in their remembrance along time after ; and false emotions, that is to say, emotions felt in the intellect. not insincerity, but a translated sincerity, is the basis of all art.
Strong Art Selfish
Gather the stars if you wish it so gather the songs and keep them. gather the faces of women. gather for keeping years and years. and then... loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye. let the stars and songs go. let the faces and years go. loosen your hands and say good-bye.
Letting Go Song Stars
An emotion is only an emotion. it's just a small part of your whole being. you are much more than your emotion. an emotion comes, stays for a while, and goes away, just like a storm. if you're aware of that, you won't be afraid of your emotions.
Storm Emotion Small Parts
