live the questions
“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 now
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
then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into
the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
I bet this is from his Letters to a Young Man (or is it Young Poet?). I'm too lazy to check.
