Quote by Hika Harada

“And the books here are not ours. They're cultural assets that authors have left for us. They're treasures for the Japanese people--- no, for all humanity. Naturally the same would hold true if you, Mr. Tamura, likewise left us your books, and we would treat them exactly the same. Because we love authors and hold them in the highest regard.”

“Only God knows the future. When told by doctors in 2014 that cancer could cease function of his mind and body in two years or less, the author experienced a transition. Suddenly all priorities were rearranged in order of their eternal value. Many of those things that seemed so important the day before, became nothing: a grudge was dropped, a hurt forgiven, a threat dismissed, an apprehension set aside, a bucket list reduced to one or two accomplishments prior to death.”

“If a person relies too much on authority outside of themselves, it is very easy to lose yourself in that routine. That routine ‘in time’ becomes unconscious and those unconscious beliefs become invisible to the self. These unconscious beliefs then create bridges to a certain kind of understanding, but they also block you from perceiving other possibilities. If that external authority and those unconscious beliefs are never examined, then we can become imprisoned within cages that were created by others.”
