Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language.

Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day. —Rainer Maria Rilke More about this quote Tags: life patience questions ignorance Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
