"Speaking Straight Ahead" ~about what concerns us
". . . have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." --pp. 34-35, Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (Random House, translated and with a foreword by Stephen Mitchell, 1984).
". . . the sort of fellow who will go on chewing however much he has bitten off--an extremely necessary trait in the character of a man who finds himself somehow committed to earning his living by poetry." --p. 108, C.S. Forester. Two-and-Twenty (D. Appleton & Company, 1931).
