life gets blurrier, consequently the path becomes more clear (sem aspas)

"It is said that much sake, self-pride and luxury are
to be avoided by a samurai, There is no cause for
anxiety when you are unhappy, but when you become
a little elated, these three things become dangerous.
Look at the human condition. It is unseemly for a person
to become prideful and extravagant when things are going
well. Therefore, it is better to have some unhappiness while one
is still young, for if a person does not experience some bitterness,
his disposition will not settle down. A person who becomes
fatigued when unhappy is useless."

“There is nothing felt quite so deeply as giri. There are times when someone like a cousin dies and it is not a matter of shedding tears. But we may hear of someone who lived fifty or a hundred years ago, of whom we know nothing and who has no family ties with us whatsoever, and yet from a sense giri shed tears.”

"Não há acontecimentos verdadeiros. O
verdadeiro é o artificial."

"A partir do momento em que decidimos
não viver numa ilha deserta, deixamos de
escolher tudo sozinhos."
