When you're young you doubtless think that you're going to sail into a lovely lake of quietude and peace. This is profoundly untrue.
Doris Lessing, cited in William Lee Adams, 'Doris Lessing's Battle Scars', Time Magazine, July 09, 2008.
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. (Yasunari Kawabata)
