LET’S GET LOST

A selection of page-spreads from the book “Let’s Get lost”.

“You are so young, barely a novice, and I would like to urge you, so far as I can, dear Sir, to have patience towards everything that is unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms, like books written in a very foreign language. For now, don't look for answers which cannot be given to you because you can't yet have lived them. And the great thing is to live everything. For now live the questions. Perhaps then you will gradually – one far-off day, without even noticing it – live your way into the answer.”

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (16 July 1903, my translation)
