“It wasn't that he had forgotten the lesson Takuan had taught him: the truly brave man is one who loves life, cherishing it as a treasure that once forfeited can never be recovered. He well knew that to live was more than merely to survive. The problem was how to imbue his life with meaning, how to ensure that his life would cast a bright ray of light into the future, even if it became necessary to give up that life for a cause. If he succeeded in doing this, the length of his life--twenty years or seventy--made little difference. A lifetime was only an insignificant interval in the endless flow of time.”
― Eiji Yoshikawa, Musashi

“Life means whatever we most want to do: paint pictures, write books, make money, make love, make the world - or ourselves - a little better. Suffering perplexes us, because nobody wants to suffer.”
