“The flowing river
never stops
and yet the water
never stays the same.

Foam floats
upon the pools,
scattering, re-forming,
never lingering long.

So it is with man
and all his dwelling places
here on earth”
― Kamo no Chōmei, Hojoki: Visions of a Torn World

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost
