Kotto Quotes

“There is no loss-because there is not any Self that can be lost. Whatsoever was, that you have been;- whatsoever is, that you are;- whatsoever will be, that you must become. Personality!- individuality!- the ghosts of a dream in a dream! Life infinite only there is; and all that appears to be is but the thrilling of it, -sun, moon, and stars, -earth, sky, and sea,-and Mind and Man, and Space and Time. All of them are shadows. The shadows come and go;- the Shadow-Maker shapes forever.”
― Lafcadio Hearn, Kotto: Being Japanese Curios, with Sundry Cobwebs

“Υπάρχουν ανθρώπινα τριζόνια, που χρειάζεται να φάνε την ίδια την καρδιά τους, για να μπορέσουν να τραγουδήσουν.”
― Lafcadio Hearn, Kotto: Being Japanese Curios, with Sundry Cobwebs
