“Don't fret my dear. If art is translation of the ephemeral into observable form, then always remember that it is the translationn that is the craft. The craft is that which can always be improved. But the ephemeral is that which only you have been able to observe, and that which only you have chosen to translate, and so in a way, the ephemeral is you, and it is already beautiful.”

“I have always been fascinated by youth.
This fire that makes us feel glorious, insolent, immortal.
I will have to come to terms with it - everything has been reduced to ashes.
(I tried in vain not to burn myself in the way.)
I believe that the deep tenderness I feel for man comes from the fact that he is so full of certainty – yet, he doubts all the time. It is a funny paradox. He is constantly misled.
He gives great importance to things that do not have any, and misses those which have.
I would like to be like a flower. Going through life, just like this, regardless of whether I will be born again or if anyone will remember my beauty.
Just passing by like this, to make the world a little more beautiful, or a little more breathable, for a little while.
I would like to be a flower of those in the bouquets for the hospitals. Of those who are plucked to die near those who are going to die.
Or those who are just born.
So that we can watch life together for a moment, as long as it is there.
To die because I am beautiful and I represent life.
To die because the love of the flower never offers itself as a trophy, for the love of the flower is always humble.
And I love to love with humility.
We should always love with humility.”

“No empire lasts forever, no dynasty continues unbroken. Some day, you and I will be mere legends. All that matters is whether we did what we could with the life that was given to us.”

“The moment we accept our pain is the moment we release our suffering. Suffering is created when we offer life resistance, and what we resist most are the experiences that bring us pain.”
