Additional quotes by Yukio Mishima

Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood.

True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys.

Жаркото слънце напичаше високо подстриганите им вратове. Беше спокоен,безметежен, прекрасен неделен следобед. Въпреки това Кийоаки продължаваше да вярва,че на дъното на този свят, подобен на пълна с вода кожена чанта, има малка дупка и той чува как времето изтича от нея капка по капка.

Still immersed in his dream, he drank down the tepid tea. It tasted bitter. Glory, as anyone knows, is bitter stuff. - Yukio Mishima
