Are we to look at cherry blossoms only in full bloom, the moon only when it is cloudless To long for the moon while looking on the rain, to lower the blinds and be unaware of the passing of the spring - these are even more deeply moving. Branches about to blossom or gardens strewn with flowers are worthier of our admiration.
More Quotes from Yoshida Kenko:
Blossoms are scattered by the wind and the wind cares nothing, but the blossoms of the heart no wind can touch.Yoshida Kenko

Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
Jean Baudrillard
Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
Mary Manin Morrissey
Sorrow happens, hardship happens, the hell with it, who never knew the price of happiness, will not be happy.
