Here, where I am surrounded by an enormous landscape, which the winds move across as they come from the seas, here I feel that there is no one anywhere who can answer for you those questions and feelings which, in their depths, have a life of their own; for even the most articulate people are unable to help, since what words point to is so very delicate, is almost unsayable. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, some day in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Rainer Maria Wilke, "Letters to a Young Poet"
