More quotes by Yukio Mishima
...of all the kinds of decay in this world, decadent purity is the most malignant.
Yukio Mishima
Mine was the unbearable jealousy a cultured pearl must feel toward a genuine one. Or can there be such a thing in this world as a man who is jealous of the woman who loves him, precisely because of her love?
Yukio Mishima
As long as you know I am waiting, take your time flowers of the spring.
Yukio Mishima
if the world changed, i could not exist, and if i changed, the world could not exist
Yukio Mishima
I had no taste for defeat - much less victory - without a fight.
Yukio Mishima
There isn't any fear in existence itself, or any uncertainty, but living creates it.
Yukio Mishima
Human beings - they go on being born and dying, dying and being born. It's kind of boring, isn't it?
Yukio Mishima
We live in an age in which there is no heroic death.
Yukio Mishima
When silence is prolonged over a certain period of time, it takes on new meaning.
Yukio Mishima
If the photographer is to create works that will stand for his spirit in the same way as artists in other genres, he must first - having no ready-made, abstract components such as works and sounds - supply other means to abstraction instead.
Yukio Mishima
The highest point at which human life and art meet is in the ordinary. To look down on the ordinary is to despise what you can't have. Show me a man who fears being ordinary, and I'll show you a man who is not yet a man.
Yukio Mishima
Nobody even imagines how well one can lie about the state of one’s own heart.
Yukio Mishima
Human life is limited but I would like to live forever.
Yukio Mishima
a samurai is a total human being, whereas a man who is completely absorbed in his technical skill has degenerated into a ‘function’, one cog in a machine.
Yukio Mishima
A father is a reality-concealing machine, a machine for dishing up lies to kids, and that isn't even the worst of it: secretly he believes that he represents reality.
Yukio Mishima
The only people in this world I really trust are my fans - even if they do forget you so fast.
Yukio Mishima
Actually the action called a kiss represented nothing more for me than some place where my spirit could seek shelter.
Yukio Mishima
The cynicism that regards hero worship as comical is always shadowed by a sense of physical inferiority
Yukio Mishima
Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood.
Yukio Mishima
I want to make a poem of my life.
Yukio Mishima
