“to love is both to seek and to be sought”
― Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask

“What more could I have done when I did not know that to love is both to seek and to be sought? For me love was nothing but a dialogue of little riddles, with no answers given. As for my spirit of adoration, I never even imagined it to be a thing that required some sort of answer.”
― Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask

“... it did gradually and tenaciously arouse within me a sensuous craving for such things as the destiny of soldiers, the tragic nature of their calling, the distant countries they would seem the ways they would die.”
― Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask

“Daydreaming is not an intellectual process but rather an escape from intellectualism.”
