The only people in this world I really trust are my fans - even if they do forget you so fast.
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 had no taste for defeat - much less victory - without a fight.
Yukio Mishima
History knew the truth. History was the most inhuman product of humanity.It scooped up the whole of human will and, like the goddess Kali in Calcutta, dripped blood from its mouth as it bit and crunched.
Yukio Mishima
The past does not only draw us back to the past. There are certain memories of the past that have strong steel springs and, when we who live in the present touch them, they are suddenly stretched taut and then they propel us into the future.
Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima
The special quality of hell is to see everything clearly down to the last detail.
Yukio Mishima
A man isn't tiny or giant enough to defeat anything.
Yukio Mishima
The period of childhood is a stage on which time and space become entangled.
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 images which the [press] photographer has filtered from reality, whether particular events or the anguish of human reactions to them, already bear a stamp of authenticity which the photographer is powerless to alter by one jot or tittle the meaning of the objects, by a process of purification, itself becomes the theme of the work.
Yukio Mishima
Beauty is something that burns the hand when you touch it.
Yukio Mishima
As long as you know I am waiting, take your time flowers of the spring.
Yukio Mishima
I still have no way to survive but to keep writing one line, one more line, one more line.
Yukio Mishima
I cried sobbingly until at last those visions reeking with blood came to comfort me. And then I surrendered myself to them, to those deplorably brutal visions, my most intimate friends.
Yukio Mishima
Beyond doubt, there was a certain splendor in pain, which bore a deep affinity to the splendor that lies hidden within strength.
