“You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves—like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.

Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
