“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms or books that are written in a very foreign language. Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer ….”
