"You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here."

"You are so young, so before all beginning, I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unsolved 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 you because you would not be able to live 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.
Resolve to be always beginning - to be a beginner!"

"

and I will not make
a poem nor the least part
of a poem but has reference
to the soul,

Because having look’d
at the objects of the universe,
I find there is no one nor
any particle of one but has
reference to the soul.

"

"Do not let a moment go by that doesn’t remind you that your heart beats 900 times a day and that there are enough gallons of blood to make you an ocean.
Do not settle for letting these waves settle and the dust to collect in your veins."
