- The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley

"Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human..."

“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You wil get an an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

- Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country (via arpeggia)

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

There once lived an old bamboo cutter. One day, he spotted a light shining inside a hollow bamboo stem and discovered a lovely little girl, about three inches tall. Raised by the old man and his wife, the girl, Kaguyahime (Shining Princess), grew up quickly and attracted five suitors. Unwilling to marry, she set impossible tasks for them, and they made invariably futile attempts to win her hand. Before long, the emperor himself sought her favor. Knowing that she would be unable to refuse him, she vanished into a pool of light, revealing herself to be a supernatural being. Unlike the other suitors, the emperor did succeed in winning her heart, but she sadly explained that she had come from the moon, and it would not be long before other moon beings descended from the skies to take her home. The emperor sent his military to protect Kaguyahime, but they were unable to stop her ascent. Before departing, Kaguyahime gave the emperor an elixir, which he offered to the immortal mountain, Mount Fuji.

“There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt.
Doubt separates people.
It is the poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relationships.
It is a thorn that irritates and hurts.
It is a sword that kills.”

- Buddha
