Life is heavier than the weight of all things.

Live the questions now.

Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through.

I beg you, 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.

Your life will still find its own paths from there, and that they may be good, rich, and wide is what I wish for you, more than I can say.

It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.

Don't be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you; simply let it happen. Otherwise it will be too easy for you to look with blame... at your past, which naturally has a share with everything that now meets you.
