I want to beg of you much as I can to be patient
toward all that's unsolved in your heart,
and learn to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms, or like books that are
written in a very foreign tongue.

Do not 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 question now,
perhaps you will then, gradually, without noticing it,
live along some distant day into the answer.

The time has come.

"I wanted to get out and walk eastward toward the park through the soft twilight, but each time I tried to go I became entangled in some wild, strident argument which pulled me back, as if with ropes, into my chair."

Isn't this collection brilliant? Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collaborative tribute to Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. There are so many delightful pieces. I'm in heaven over here.

(There are also pillows and t shirts and, of course, a movie to check out too!!)

She would let herself dream every once in a while, not as a way to forget - as a way to remember.

"It's much more splendid," she thought, "to keep some delicious secrets for myself (to enjoy when I've slipped off alone or lie awake at night), than to share the precious moments and spread them thin among all the others. I daresay they wouldn't appreciate it quite well enough, and, frankly, I doubt anyone would believe me if I told them."
