“You are so young, you have not even begun, and I would like
to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything that
is unsolved in your heart, and to try to cherish the questions themselves, like
closed rooms and like books written in a very strange tongue. Do not search for
the answers which cannot be given you because you could not live them. It is a
matter of living everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then
gradually, without noticing it, one distant day live right to the answer.”
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters
to a Young Poet
