“When we see the beauty of the snow, when we see the beauty of the full moon, when we see the beauty of the cherries in bloom, when in short we brush against and are awakened by the beauty of the four seasons, it is then that we think most of those close to us, and want them to share the pleasure. The excitement of beauty calls forth strong fellow feelings, yearnings for companionship, and the word ‘comrade’ can be taken to mean ‘human being’.”

Yasunari Kawabata was awarded the 1968 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his narrative mastery, which with great sensibility expresses the essence of the Japanese mind".

“Time passed. But time flows in many streams. Like a river, an inner stream of time will flow rapidly at some places and sluggishly at others, or perhaps even stand hopelessly stagnant. Cosmic time is the same for everyone, but human time differs with each person. Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.”

— Yasunari Kawabata, from Beauty and Sadness, transl. Howard Hibbett (Alfred A. Knopf, 1975)

“And he absolutely had to find her at once to tell her that he adored her, but the large audience before him separated him from the door, and the notes reaching him through a succession of hands said that she was not available; that she was inaugurating a fire; that she had married an american businessman; that she had become a character in a novel; that she was dead.”

— Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

I fancy about hundred past lifetimes we could have had spent together whenever someone gaze at me and I feel all the angels haunting me singing about flawed and flowers hiding in a blue field at midnight ,and I still hide my moon into your pocket adapting to your heartbeats
