"What a strange thing!to be alivebeneath cherry blossoms."

"Living in a world such as this is like dancing on a live volcano."

"What each of us believes in is up to us, but life is impossible without believing in something."

"Too lazy to be ambitious,I let the world take care of itself.Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out."

"From the moment of my birth, I lived with pain at the center of my life. My only purpose in life was to find a way to coexist with intense pain."
