    “Be patient with all that is unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek answers which cannot be given to you now because you would not be able to live them now. And the point is to live everything, live the question now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” (Letters to a Young Poet, Rilke)
