“Dear sir, 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.

Perhaps you win then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

Ranier Maria Rilke
