"I want to beg you, as much as I can,
to be patient
toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and to try to love the questions
themselves like locked rooms
and like books that are written in a very foreign
tongue.
Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you
because you would
not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything. Live the
questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,
live along
some distant day into the answer.
Resolve to be always beginning—to be a
beginner!"
From Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters on Love
