Rainer Maria Rilke

Filed under: Thoughts — Daniel Milbo @ 4:05 pm

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 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.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us
are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.

Thoreau

Always do what you are afraid to do.
Emerson

To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only end of life.
Stevenson

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. 
Thoreau
