PHILOSOPHY

song of myself. whitman. "i celebrate myself, and sing myself, and what i assume you shall assume, for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."

letters to a young poet. rilke. "i would like to beg you dear sir, as well as I can, 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."

the fountainhead. ayn rand on howard roak. "wheeling his bicycle by his side, the boy took the narrow path down the slope of the hill to the valley and the houses below. roark looked after him. he had never seen that boy before and he would never see him again. he did not know that he had given someone the courage to face a lifetime."
