Peter Scott Best > Peter's Quotes

“In every nook and cranny of Johannesburg there was a hustle and bustle, the reality of daily life, as its inhabitants etched out a meagre existence. Car horns repeatedly being thumped inside an assortment of badly driven, overheated and overworked ramshackle vehicles, from mopeds to rusty bashed trucks and buses. They all bore the scars from manic encounters on the dusty roads.”
― Peter Scott Best, Jew, Berlin to Hollywood: A Holocaust survivors inspiring true story

“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.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“I woke up thinking a very pleasant thought. There is lots left in the world to read.”
― Nicholson Baker, The Anthologist
