"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and 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 find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer."
~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

One of my favorite quotes, first found in 1985 when first I discovered Rilke. You've reminded me that it's been too long since I re-read "Letters to a Young Poet" or "The Duino Elegies".
