“Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have. —RABBI HYMAN SCHACHTEL”
― Fumio Sasaki, Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism

“We think we can't become a minimalist until our lives have settled down. But it's actually the other way around; we won't be able to settle down until we're having a minimalist life.”
― Fumio Sasaki, Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism

“a minimalist is a person who knows what is truly essential for him- or herself,”
― Fumio Sasaki, Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism

“Ask yourself which of your items would truly be necessary if you were to start with zero belongings. What if everything you owned was stolen? What if you had to move next week? Which items would you take with you? There are probably a lot of things we have sitting around in our homes for no particular reason. Think about starting from scratch, and it will become clear which items are essential.”
