“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 now 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.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”

“I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.”
