" You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to 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 yo now, because you would not be able to love them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now."

“you must realize…that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall”

this book is invigorating as well as introspective to me.

i found one of my all time favorite quote in this book, and it is in this verse that i find wisdom and solace.

‘For one human being to love another is perhaps the most difficult task of all,

the epitome, the ultimate test.

It is by striving for which all other striving is merely preparation.’
