“I do only want to advise you to keep growing quietly and seriously, throughout your whole development… like all progress, must come from deep within and cannot be pressed or hurried by anything. Everything is gestation and then bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of a feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one’s own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth hour of a new clarity..."
-Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
