“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. … 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.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke

"We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive." – Wayne Dyer
