"I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day."

"Nothing in this world can one imagine beforehand not the least thing. Everything is made up of so many unique particulars that cannot be foreseen."
"It is necessary - and toward this point our development will move, little by little - that nothing alien happen to us, but only what has long been our own."
