Live Everything: “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers that 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 wil gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
