“Hero worship, when properly entered into, has a great deal of poetry in it. It inspires and motivates, renews and revives. It encourages introspection, investigation of desire, personal moral inventory and all manner of fruitful examinations. The cargo of goodwill that spells of extreme admiration create, can provide personal ballast against discouragement and grief. To be in the habit of fixing another with your highest personal regard over time increases your capacity to love. . . . Hero worship can be an emotional Olympics, a way of testing one’s lowest and highest drives. My Judy-love strengthens and inspires what is already good in me and what is bad. It helps me become more completely and entirely myself. And if the poetry of hero worship imparts some measure of heroism on the practitioner, then that is all to the good.”

“Back then, I couldn’t conceive of the idea that that time in my life would ever end. But those days have passed. That period of my life has receded into the distance. There’s no going back to the past.”

“It's important to stand still sometimes. Think of it as a little rest in the long journey of life. This is your harbor. An your boat is just dropping anchor here for a little while. And after you're well rested, you can set sail again.”
― Satoshi Yagisawa

“My boat travels lightly, drifting aimlessly at the mercy of the current”
