Yukio Mishima
“Beauty is something that burns the hand when you touch it.”
Yukio Mishima, Forbidden Colors

Yukio Mishima
“Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood.”
Yukio Mishima, Runaway Horses

Yukio Mishima
“Dreams, memories, the sacred--they are all alike in that they are beyond our grasp. Once we are even marginally separated from what we can touch, the object is sanctified; it acquires the beauty of the unattainable, the quality of the miraculous.

Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

Yukio Mishima
“What I wanted was to die among strangers, untroubled, beneath a cloudless sky. And yet my desire differed from the sentiments of that ancient Greek who wanted to die under the brilliant sun.

Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion
