Enlightened by Your Questions
“It is not the answer that enlightens but the question.”
–Eugène Ionesco (Romanian-born French Playwright, 1912-1994)
Attempt the “Impossible”
“A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.”
–Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (American Physician, Writer, Poet and Speaker, 1809-1894)
Love and Live the Questions
“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 find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer.”
–Rainer Maria Rilke (Austro-German Poet, 1875-1926)
