“What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”
― Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

“For clearly it is impossible to touch eternity with one hand and life with the other.”
― Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

“Men demonstrate their courage far more often in little things than in great.”
― Baldesar Castiglione, The Book of the Courtier

“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”
― Sigmund Freud
