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.

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves...At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer.

The point is to live everything.

Where something becomes extremely difficult and unbearable, there we also stand always already quite near its transformation.

Irony: Don't let yourself be controlled by it, especially during uncreative moments.

I implore those who love me to love my solitude.

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
