When a leader trusts no one, no one trusts him.

[komorebi2460]

I must say to myself that I ruined myself, and that nobody great or small can be ruined except by his own hand.

Oscar Wilde, ‘De Profundis’

[komorebi2460]

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you're carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There's no time for anything else.

Anthony Hopkins

[komorebi2460]

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

Bob Marley

[komorebi2460]

most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. At some point in life you have to be content with what you have in life.    The road to happiness is always under construction. The heart is happiest when it beats for others. Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it. A small house will hold as much happiness as a big one and the happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery even when you have to take a detour.  It isn't our position but our disposition that makes us happy..

Abraham Lincoln

Her story was simple. There was no love or heroism,  but they tried to make her forget, Anyway. But she remembers. She watches the rain's falling rhythm, The clouds drifting above -she's yet lost her way. Each quiet morning she remembers. Submerged in mourning she remembers. With the sky crying she remembers, With the birds flying she remembers. What does she remember?

She remembers the love within that will guide her.

[kaenkoi]

Ｔｈｉｓ　ｉｓ　Ｕｔｏｐｉａ．

Here lie the remnants of “the old city”. It is a slum where the victims of the great recession now reside. Old, worn, broken. Great cement and steel buildings of the mid-century, built so close to one another, they touch wall-to-wall. Ancient structures stacked so high, they disappear into the darkness of the sky. They are rusted and heavy and seem to tilt, like crooked trees in the wind, creating a jagged skyline. At any moment, they seem as though they’d collapse down onto the streets below, but they stay up somehow. The air so polluted, it blocks the sun from sight and fills the sky above like a gloomy cloak. The horizon hides behind a vast blanket of brown and grey so that the rest of the city is concealed from view.

[komorebi2460]

Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list. But no one ever asks you if you are happy.

Heath Ledger

[komorebi2460]

Don't let anyone ever make you feel  you don't deserve what you want.

Heath Ledger

[komorebi2460]

I think the most common cause of insomnia is simple: it's loneliness.

Heath Ledger

It is not that humans have changed. Humans have been like this all along, and what has changed is only the outer layer of things.

Sakaguchi Ango, “Discourse on Decadence”

[komorebi2460]

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Fredrich Nietzsche

[komorebi2460]

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not  hear the music.

Fredrich Nietzsche
