“What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”
― Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

“The immense appetite we have for biography comes from a deep-seated sense of equality.”
― Charles Baudelaire

“I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do - the day after.”
― Oscar Wilde
