“When dawn comes I'm sitting in bed with my arms around my knees and, since I have nothing to do, am trying to know myself. "Know yourself"--what splendid and useful advice; too bad the ancients never thought of showing how to use this advice.”

“Indeed, one of the greatest pleasures of travelling was to find a genius hidden among weeds and bushes, a treasure lost in broken tiles, a mass of gold buried in clay, and when I did find such a person, I always kept a record with the hope that I might be able to show it to my friends.”
― Matsuo Bashō, The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches
