“Diventare kamikaze significava divenire noi stessi una divinità. Pur essendo uomini pregavamo noi stessi, e in noi stessi riponevamo la nostra fede. Questa realizzazione era la nostra morte.
Ma affinché anche noi potessimo essere mistici, e l'incarnazione del Dio, era necessario che l'Imperatore rifulgesse sul gradino più alto della divinità. Era quella la sorgente della nostra immortalità, la fonte che avrebbe reso gloriosa la nostra morte, l'unico filo che ci legava al mondo.”

“In quel continuo peregrinare, in tutti quei treni e autobus, nei cammini lungo i sentieri di montagna, attraverso paesaggi magnifici e sqallidi quartieri cittadini, nei vuoti di attese a volte lunghe, c'è un elemento di meditazione scandito dal ritmo del viaggio, chiamiamola una sequenza di pensieri vaghi e serpeggianti nutrita dal movimento stesso, unito alla vista di tutti quegli mperscrutabili e solenni volti di pietra, oro e ottone che si librano sopra ogni cosa e all'insondabile pace dei giardini silenziosi. Più a lungo dura e più ci si sente armati contro quella che sembra l'assurdità del mondo.”
