Love the questions

It is not time to answer the questions. I beg of you, dear friend, love the questions like locked doors, like books written in a foreign tongue. It is not time to answer the questions. Maybe one distant day you will find yourself living the answers.

This quote by Rainer Maria Rilke was one of the formative quotes of my young adulthood. I find the beauty of the question, the paradox that can't be answered, the wisdom that grows out of the tension when we patiently hold two opposite perspectives as Rilke's answer.
