Ryōkan
“I don't tell the murky world
to turn pure.
I purify myself
and check my reflection
in the water of the valley brook.”
Ryōkan, Sky Above, Great Wind: The Life and Poetry of Zen Master Ryokan

Ryōkan
“I must go there today -
Tomorrow the plum blossoms
Will scatter.”
Ryōkan, Dewdrops on a Lotus Leaf: Zen Poems of Ryokan

Mark Fisher
“Capital demands that we always look busy, even if there's no work to do. If neoliberalism's magical voluntarism is to be believed, there are always opportunities to be chased or created; any time not spent hustling and hassling is time wasted. The whole city is forced into a gigantic simulation of activity, a fanaticism of productivism in which nothing much is actually produced, an economy made out of hot air and bland delirium.”
Mark Fisher, Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures

“It's like the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.”
Samwise Gamgee

“Stars are not small or gentle.
They are writhing and dying and burning.
They are not here to be pretty.
I am trying to learn from them.”
