#288 - “I am not interested in the future and I don’t believe in it. First of all, I am not trusting the future. I don’t even believe in myself in tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I know me, in the present, who is dragging the past, that’s all I know. That’s all I understand. To say it nicer, the people in the present are standing beside a window, between the past and the future and keeping the balance and living there. But in my case I’ve rather always wanted to get older as quickly as possible and finish it all, just as quickly. For me, what is coming is the end. I don’t feel the something will begin in the future.” — Yohji Yamamoto
#277 - “To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.” — William Ellery Channing

You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.” — Pema Chodron
