Letter to a young poet

Be patient toward all that

is unresolved in your heart

and try to love the questions

themselves.  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 answers.

~Rainier Maria Rilke~
