Rainer Maria Rilke

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.  Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and books written in a foreign language.  Do not look for the answers.  They cannot now be given to you because you could not live with them.  It is a question of experiencing everything.  At present you need to live the question.  Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
