Beauty is something that burns the hand when you touch it.
Yukio Mishima
His emotion evident in the glitter of his eyes.
Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima
Nobody even imagines how well one can lie about the state of one’s own heart.
Yukio Mishima
Actually the action called a kiss represented nothing more for me than some place where my spirit could seek shelter.
Yukio Mishima
It is a common failing of childhood to think that if one makes a hero out of a demon the demon will be satisfied.
Yukio Mishima
It seems to me that before the photograph can exist as art it must, by its very nature choose whether it is to be a record or a testimony.
Yukio Mishima
If we value so highly the dignity of life, how can we not also value the dignity of death No death may be called futile.
Yukio Mishima
The special quality of hell is to see everything clearly down to the last detail.
Yukio Mishima
The mind, by its very nature, persistently tries to live forever, resisting age and attempting to give itself a form... . When a person passes his prime and his life begins to lose true vigor and charm, his mind starts functioning as if it were another form of life it imitates what life does, eventually doing what life cannot do.
Yukio Mishima
