Quote that is stuck in my head

Parts of this quote were stuck in my head all day so I thought I would share it with you all.

Be patient to all that is 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 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 evening noticing it,
live your way in the answer.

From "Letters to a Young Poet" by Ranier Maria Rilke, 1903.
