“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

“You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable.”
― Marguerite Duras, Practicalities

“It seems only yesterday I used to believe
there was nothing under my skin but light.
If you cut me I could shine.”
― Billy Collins

“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
