“At half past three in the morning I woke up. And immediately elastic I
jumped out of bed. I came to write you. I mean: be. Now it’s half past five. I
want nothing: I am pure. I don’t wish this solitude on you. But I myself am
in the creating fog. Lucid darkness, luminous stupidity.”
― Água Viva

“But the most important word in the language has but two letters: is. Is. I am at its core. I still am. I am at the living and soft centre. Still. It sparkles and is elastic.”

“I want the following word: splendor, splendor is fruit in all its succulence, fruit without sadness. I want vast distances. My savage intuition of myself.”

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.
...live in the question.”

...live in the question.”
― Letters to a Young Poet
“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. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
