Yukio Mishima
“It's only the desire to live as long as possible that makes everything seem complicated and mysterious.”
Yukio Mishima, Life for Sale

Yukio Mishima
“The Chief always insisted it would take acts such as this to fill the world's great hollows. Though nothing else could do it, he said, murder would fill those gaping caves in much the same way that a crack along its face will fill a mirror. Then they would achieve real power over existence.”
Yukio Mishima, The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“The worst thing I do is to exist.
When I think of that I understand
A human's greatest crime is to be born!”
Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Life Is A Dream

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“How can it be justified
And how can it be right
For God to give freedom
- Sweet And Beautiful Freedom -
To give it to a stream, a fish,
A brute and a bird
And deny it to a human being!”
Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Life Is A Dream

Yukio Mishima
“Sometimes, as he listened to the song or hummed it, tears brimmed in his eyes, just as in the lyrics. Strange that a man with no ties should become sentimental about a 'harbour town', but the tears welled directly from a dark, distant, enervated part of himself he had neglected all his life and couldn't command.”
Yukio Mishima, The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
