Yukio Mishima
“I was born with gloomy nature. I do not think I have ever known what it is to be cheerful and at ease.”
Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Haruki Murakami
“That's what the world is , after all: an endless battle of contrasting memories.”
Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

Yukio Mishima
“Yet how strange a thing is the beauty of music! The brief beauty that the player brings into being transforms a given period of time into pure continuance; it is certain never to be repeated; like the existence of dayflies and other such short-lived creatures, beauty is a perfect abstraction and creation of life itself. Nothing is so similar to life as music.”
Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Natsume Sōseki
“You seem to be under the impression that there is a special breed of bad humans. There is no such thing as a stereotype bad man in this world. Under normal conditions, everybody is more or less good, or, at least, ordinary. But tempt them, and they may suddenly change. That is what is so frightening about men.”
Natsume Soseki, Kokoro

Yukio Mishima
“When people concentrate on the idea of beauty, they are, without realizing it, confronted with the darkest thoughts that exist in this world. That, I suppose, is how human beings are made.”
Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion
