I beg you…to have patience with everything 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 the 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 even noticing it, live your way into the answer… Rainer Maria Rilke

Punctuality is the virtue of the bored. ~Evelyn Waugh

but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.
