Love the questions - Rainer Maria Rilke

I beg you, to 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.


In un certo senso, si appartengono, ma in un modo speciale. Si appartengono, ma non si possiedono.
Pier Vittorio Tondelli



You will find that a good idea has, as it were, self-expanding qualities. It stimulates those who see it to add to it.
Young, 1939

La nostra nozione di genio come creatore romantico è datata. Il vero genio è colui che padroneggia ciò che ha a disposizione. Copiare è l’arte di gestire le informazioni esistenti. Il mondo è saturo, non c’è bisogno di aggiungere nulla di nuovo.
Kenneth Goldsmith, poeta e docente di scrittura non creativa, nel suo Uncreative writing: Managing Language in Digital Age (Columbia University Press, 2011) via @antoniosgobba

Enjoy your work and your small victories; don’t get swept up into the next thing before being fully present with the joys of this one.
