Letters to a Young Poet
by Rainer Maria Rilke
"Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live with 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."
"If your everyday life appears to be unworthy subject matter, do not complain to life. Complain to yourself. Lament that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches. For the creative artist, there is no poverty--nothing is insignificant or unimportant. there is beauty here because there is beauty everywhere.”
“A piece of art is good if it is born of necessity. This, its source, is its criterion; there is no other.”
“We are unutterably alone, essentially, especially in the things most intimate and most important to us.”
“You need to be as patient as someone ill and as optimistic as one recuperating, for perhaps you are both. And more: You are the physician who must watch over yourself. But in the course of every illness there are many days in which the physician can do nothing but wait.”
