This is sort of irrelevant and I should probably post this elsewhere, if anywhere, but you can never have enough of good quotes can you?
Just came back from a talk one of my professors gave, and she ended it with a quote about the nature of questions, which I think is a lovely quote and probably relevant to lots of us here.
"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 [...] Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. Perhaps you do carry within you the possibility of creating and forming, as an especially blessed and pure way of living; train yourself for that but take whatever comes, with great trust, and as long as it comes out of your will, out of some need of your innermost self, then take it upon yourself, and don't hate anything." - Rainer Maria Rilke
Also, in case you haven't read Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, it's a beautiful little book of gems that can be read in half an hour but is worth reading over and over again.
