Clouds leave no trace in the sky,
so fragile
just like my being.
- Kai Doh Maru
***
Our world is no more permanent than a wave rising on the ocean. Whatever our struggles and triumphs, however we may suffer them, all too soon they bleed into a wash, just like watery ink on paper.

Suffering is nothing but experience enslaved to ignorance.

A Samurai who smells of sunflowers? Sunflowers don't have a scent.
So, isn't it possible that the person you're looking for doesn't even exist?
- Samurai Champloo
***
When you are young you are given a good view of life, because of your closeness to birth.

A subordinate deity, as the genius of a place or a person's attendant spirit.

"Princess of the imperial ancestors gods sings at a black moon
Oh, illusive lover, go together to the night
The two becomes wind and travelled around the stars
Watching the scenery until they awake from their dreams
The two people are the eyes of the heart
The maiden thinks, where is the key?
Where is the key to hold this moment for eternity?
The transient princess sleeps at the black moon
The illusive lover lives in the same shadow
In reality, they became bubbles and transformed to darkness
The sadness of the now ending morning
The parting people are the death of the heart
The maiden commands, throw away the key
Throw away the key to the disappearing and transient shadow"
-[lyrics] Princess of December, UFO Princess Valkyrie
***

You must present something of equal value in order to gain something.

***
"Never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it."

Qué es la vida? Un frenesí,
Qué es la vida? Una ilusión,
una sombra, una ficción.
Y el mayor bien es pequeño,
que toda la vida es sueño,
y los sueños, sueños son.
What is life? A frenzy,
What is life? An illusion,
a shadow, a fiction.
And the greatest good
is of slight worth,
since life is but a dream,
and dreams are only dreams.
-Pedro Calderón de la Barca
***
The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
-Prophet Joel
***
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream
-Edgar A. Poe
***
Death is not a hunter unbeknownst to its prey, one is always aware that it lies in wait. Though life merely a journey to the grave, it must not be undertaken without hope. Only then will a traveler's story live on, treasured by who bid him farewell. But alas, now my guest's life has ended, his tale left unwritten...
-Persona 3
***
The Japanese possess eyes able to perceive the mystery, beauty and charm of things, and also a heart which can love them.

Do not make light of even the shortest of moments.
-Kimura, Azumanga Daioh
***
The sound of the bell of the Gion Temple tolls the impermanence of all things, and the hue of the Sala tree's blossoms reveals the truth that those who flourish must fade. The proud ones do not last forever, but are like the dream of a spring night. Even the mighty will perish, just like dust before the wind.
-Opening lines of the Heike
***
Narrow minds devoid of imagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutely fear and loathe.
-Oshima, Kafka on the Shore
***
I am the first
a shadow at the end
of the hallway
I spin the carousel
the laughter recedes away
my finger on your lips
I stole something precious
I am the second
alone in a faceless crowd
a human caught
in monochrome dreams
I scream to wake up
my voice drowns deep underground
only the dead can hear me
see me
I am the third.
a master
a sentinel of awakeness
I hold truth like a torch
shadows flicker before me.
rapid eye follow the
chain of thought
until the silence ends
-[lyrics] Rain of Brass Petals (3 voices edit) - Silent Hill 3
