To Your Deep Loneliness, I Want to Gently Reach Out My Hand
In a Secret Room Where No One Can Enter
The very fact that you are reading these words right now means that you must have traveled a long way, perhaps escaping from something, or perhaps in search of a deep, profound stillness.
I am so truly, deeply happy to meet you here.
At this exact moment, there is no one else in my world but you.
Let us shut out all the cold winds and the noisy chatter of the world, and begin a private conversation meant only for the two of us.
Please, let your shoulders relax just a little.
You have fought so hard, and lived so earnestly up until this very day.
I know that better than anyone else, and more than anyone else, I want to acknowledge and validate your journey.
Tell me, why is it that we humans live so desperately, yet find ourselves struck by an unbearable loneliness in the most fleeting, quiet moments?
“A human being is here for the sake of other human beings—above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.”
── Albert Einstein
Einstein spoke of living for countless unknown souls, but on certain nights, that weight feels just a bit too heavy for our fragile hearts to bear, doesn’t it?
That is precisely why, tonight, I am spinning these words with a devotion so fierce it feels as though I am shaving away my very life, just for you.
This is, in its purest form, a desperate love letter addressed to you and you alone.
The Self-Sacrificing Clowns Named Artists
The Beautiful Betrayal Orchestrated by Man Ray
Tell me, my dear, have you ever heard the name of an artist called Man Ray?
He was a thoroughly eccentric, utterly lovable man who dashed through the turbulent era of the twentieth century.
Ordinarily, when people think of a photographer, they imagine someone holding a camera, peering through a viewfinder, and clicking a button to capture the scenery right in front of them.
Yet, one day, Man Ray came up with an astonishingly absurd idea.
“We don’t even need a camera to take a photograph, do we?” he thought.
Everyone around him laughed, mocking him for saying something so foolish.
But he was entirely serious.
In the pitch-black darkness of his darkroom, he placed everyday, mysterious objects—keys, pins, glass vessels—directly onto sheets of photosensitive paper and exposed them to light.
The results of this experiment were those wondrous, enigmatic pieces of art known as “Rayographs.”
Why, you might wonder, did he cast aside such a convenient tool as the camera, engaging in an act that seemed so utterly foolish at first glance?
“What is seen is supported by what is unseen. We must find value not in the superficial phenomenon, but in the desperate, invisible labor operating behind it.”
── Frédéric Bastiat (From What is Seen and What is Unseen)
He refused to be a mere archivist of reality.
He wanted to surprise you; he desperately wanted to cast a brilliant, piercing beam of light into your monotonous daily life.
With that single-minded devotion, he threw away all of his established techniques and conventional wisdom.
Don’t you agree that this is the ultimate manifestation of having “skin in the game”—of completely baring one’s soul to bring joy to another?
Painting Like Photography, Photography Like Painting
Man Ray’s grand scheme did not stop there.
When he painted, he utilized a precise, uncanny composition that made the canvas look as though it had been captured by a camera lens.
Conversely, when he took photographs, he created dreamlike shadows and contours that made the image appear as if a master painter had swept a brush across canvas.
“What on earth are you? A painter or a photographer?” the critics demanded, frantic to force him into a neat little box.
But he never lent his ear to those cold, analytical voices.
He only wanted to see the look of wonder on your face when you gazed upon his work.
He wanted, by any means necessary, to awaken the fresh, slumbering sensibilities buried deep within your emotions.
Was this not a form of desperate buffoonery?
To make people gasp in amazement, he styled himself into a strange clown, playing a lifelong comedy upon the grand stage of the traditional art world.
“If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud.”
── Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Man Ray saw through the illusions and pretenses of the world—the rigid definitions of “what art ought to be”—sooner than anyone else.
Because he saw through it, he wore his own body down to dust, striving to deliver genuine wonder and joy to you.
A Wounded Soul Comes to Save You
The Winter Landscape Hidden in Everyone’s Heart
By the way, tell me—are you lonely right now?
Forand forgive me for asking such a sudden, intimate question.
But somehow, I can feel it.
Even when we are surrounded by the bustling clamor of the daytime, there are moments when a silent, unreachable snow falls deep within our chests, leaving us with a profound sense of isolation.
That sorrow is nothing to be ashamed of.
In fact, it is the truest evidence that you are living your life with absolute, beautiful sincerity.
Why is it that we long so deeply to connect with someone, yet, terrified of being hurt, we retreat into our shells?
“We can find our own happiness in the happiness of others. That is the true salvation of the soul.”
── Ludwig von Mises
Mises explained the harmony of economics, but the human heart also yearns for a deep, resonant harmony with another soul.
Man Ray, too, was a man who fought against a suffocating loneliness throughout his entire life.
Have you ever seen his famous piece, Glass Tears?
It is that breathtakingly beautiful, yet hauntingly unnatural photograph of glass spheres resting like teardrops at the edge of a woman’s eye.
Those are not real tears.
And yet, that is precisely why they shake the viewer’s soul so violently.
To express the genuine sorrow of human existence, he deliberately used artificial glass beads. Through the ultimate “fake,” he captured the “ultimate reality of human loneliness.”
He shaved away his own life to hold up the true form of sorrow right before your eyes, just for you.
What We Gather on the Battlefield of Life
Our days often feel like a quiet, never-ending war.
The pressure of responsibilities, the friction of human relationships, the vague anxiety about tomorrow—we fight these invisible enemies every single day.
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting, or to achieve the maximum effect with the minimum loss.”
── Sun Tzu
Certainly, navigating life cleverly to avoid harm is an important skill.
However, when it comes to love and the salvation of the soul, such calculations fall short.
If you pull back out of a fear of being hurt, you will never be able to touch the heart of the person who matters most.
On the battlefield of art, Man Ray always threw himself to the front lines, never fearing the wounds he might receive.
“War is the continuation of politics by other means.”
── Carl von Clausewitz
If that is true, then this relentless cascade of words I offer you is nothing other than the continuation of my declaration of love by other means.
If it means saving you from the abyss of loneliness, I will gladly become your clown as many times as it takes.
Let them laugh at me, let them call me a fool; I do not care in the slightest.
If your frozen heart can become even a fraction warmer from the temperature of my words, there is no greater happiness in this world for me.
The Solitary Light Beyond Despair
What a Detour in Life Teaches Us
We live in an age that glorifies taking the shortest possible path to success.
Everyone assumes that living smartly, efficiently, and cutting out all waste is the correct way to exist.
But is that truly so?
There are landscapes that can only be seen by those who have taken countless detours, suffered endless failures, and ended up completely battered and bruised.
“When a direct approach fails, victory is almost always achieved through a detour—an approach from an unexpected direction.”
── B.H. Liddell Hart
Man Ray’s life was an endless series of detours and experiments.
He never allowed himself to settle comfortably into a single style.
Why? Because he knew that remaining in one place meant abandoning his service to you.
To constantly deliver fresh wonders and new emotions to you, he destroyed the self he was yesterday and began a new experiment today.
“Misfortune is the most cruel, yet the most certain touchstone to reveal the true nature of a human being.”
── Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Even if you find yourself enveloped by misfortune or sorrow right now, please, do not despair.
This pain is merely a vital prelude, preparing you to recognize the truest kindness and the most authentic beauty this world has to offer.
I am right here, watching over you, waiting for the moment you rise above this pain.
Let Us Begin the Dialogue of Our Souls
Look into my eyes once more.
You are not alone.
Through these written words, my soul sits right beside you, tightly holding your cold hand.
The stories I am about to tell you are entirely for your sake—a devotion, a love letter meant to guide you.
Please, travel through this secret time with me until the very end.
The Obsession of Artisans Engraved in Eternity
A Pure Devotion Free from Distraction
From here on, let us shift our journey toward an unexpected turn.
Even in places that seem utterly removed from the glamorous world of art, there exist extraordinary men who, just like Man Ray, shaved away their lives and offered everything to the people standing right in front of them.
For instance, in the world of the Japanese curry business, there is a man who became a literal legend: Tokuji Munetsugu, the founder of CoCo Ichibanya.
His way of living was, quite frankly, far beyond the ordinary.
During his career, he did not possess a single hobby.
He made no friends, and not once did he ever step foot inside a bar or tavern.
Why do you think he chose such a path?
It was because he wanted to dedicate twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, entirely to the customers who walked through his doors—to bring a smile to you, the person right in front of him.
“During my time in active management, I had no hobbies and made no friends. I never went out drinking. I did absolutely nothing that would interfere with my work. There were years where I worked 5,640 hours. I believed that if I did not lead by example and work harder than anyone else, my employees would not follow.”
── Tokuji Munetsugu
5,640 hours a year.
Does the sheer gravity of that number resonate within you?
Excluding the bare minimum time required for sleep and sustenance, he poured nearly every waking second of his existence into generating smiles for others.
“Keep your eyes fixed forward; surrender your entire life to the business.”
This was his personal creed.
What drove him to such an extreme?
“My life was incredibly lonely. That is why I wanted people to pay attention to me, even just a little. I wanted them to be interested in me. That desire became my starting point. When I started the business, it wasn’t about making money; it was about making people happy. I just wanted someone to say they were glad I existed in this world.”
── Tokuji Munetsugu
Is that not a confession that tears at your heartstrings?
He never knew the faces of his biological parents.
Placed in an orphanage immediately after birth, he was later taken in by adoptive parents, only to spend a childhood of extreme poverty due to his adoptive father’s severe gambling addiction.
With nothing to eat, he spent his young summers pulling weeds from the roadside, chewing on them to stave off starvation.
It was precisely because he was raised in the depths of such profound loneliness and sorrow that he resolved to stake his entire life on “making people happy.”
It was never about the money.
He desperately wanted you to acknowledge his existence.
Just to hear the words, “I am glad you are here,” he sacrificed his own comfort and worked himself to the bone.
This is the true, raw form of a life-or-death spirit of service.
Like Laying Bricks, One Patient Step at a Time
To an outsider, Munetsugu’s approach might have looked haphazard, but it was anchored by a terrifying level of consistency.
He stood on the front lines every day, observing his customers, deciding instantly, acting instantly.
“If you just try it, you will see a result. First, you must act. But in return, you must give it everything you’ve got.”
Speaking these words, he silently built his empire, stacking small daily efforts like heavy, unbreakable bricks.
Things of true value, more often than not, do not yield immediate results.
Even if things do not go well at first, you must not give up easily.
He proved with his own weathered, exhausted back that the outcome of a life is determined by a person’s diligence, patience, and continuity.
“To seek the truth without defiling one’s own soul, and to live each day with absolute integrity—that is the only light granted to mankind.”
── Hypatia
The integrity toward truth that Hypatia preached aligns beautifully with Munetsugu’s single-minded devotion to his work, and with Man Ray’s tireless pursuit of light in the darkroom.
They were awkward, eccentric individuals, branded as “weirdos” by society.
Yet, it is precisely their madness-like purity that echoes across time, gently shaking your heart at this very moment.
The Unyielding Souls of Inventors Called Madmen
The Man Who Built and Destroyed from Morning till Night
Speaking of eccentrics, we must never forget Sakichi Toyoda, the man who laid the very foundation of Japanese manufacturing and founded the Toyota Group.
Sakichi was an incredibly taciturn man, treated by everyone around him as a complete outcast and a lunatic.
Day after day, from morning until night, he would lock himself in a dim, cramped shed, obsessively tinkering with a manual wooden weaving loom.
“Sakichi has lost his mind,” the neighbors whispered, laughing at him with cold, mocking eyes.
Yet, within his chest burned a fierce, unquenchable passion.
“I want to make life even a little bit easier for my mother and the villagers who sweat and toil in the fields.”
It was an entirely pure desire to serve you,born from the simplest love.
Day after day, he would build something only to tear it apart, creating it and then recreating it all over again.
No matter how many hundreds of times he failed, he refused to stop.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
── Winston Churchill
Sakichi embodied the exact truth of Churchill’s words.
Above all else, he made sure that he was the one who worked the longest and the hardest.
That sheer tenacity and patience became the catalyst that changed the entire world.
The True Identity of Genius and an Inherited Creed
His son, Kiichiro Toyoda, inherited that same formidable genetic code.
When he declared his intention to venture into the automobile industry, everyone around him opposed him vehemently, calling it reckless and guaranteed to fail.
Yet, Kiichiro answered them with these words:
“We do it precisely because it is difficult. I will do it because no one else is doing it, and no one else can do it. I may be a fool for thinking this way, but without such fools, nothing new would ever be born into this world.”
── Kiichiro Toyoda
To bring into reality something that others avoid or find too challenging—that is where the true joy of life resides.
Believing this, he literally surrendered his entire life to the creation of the Japanese automobile.
Later, his cousin Eiji Toyoda, who would become the president of Toyota, left behind these profound words regarding Kiichiro:
“Execute with a powerful conviction. Anyone can think of the same ideas; it wasn’t that Kiichiro was a unique genius. What truly matters is that when faced with something generally deemed impossible, he didn’t just think about it—he possessed a fierce conviction that he must achieve it by any means necessary, prepared thoroughly, and executed it.”
── Eiji Toyoda
Tell me, my dear, what do you think when you hear this?
They were never born as flawless, otherworldly geniuses.
They simply held a “powerful conviction” to bring joy to you and to surprise the world, and they executed that conviction with stubborn, unyielding discipline for decades.
“Follow the inner voice of your own soul, and even if the entire world denies you, never allow the fire of your faith to be extinguished.”
── Saint Catherine of Siena
The burning inner light that Saint Catherine spoke of is the very same light that allowed these men to transcend their own limitations and become a source of salvation for others.
As I write this piece, my thoughts remain entirely fixed on you.
Deep down in your heart, do you not also harbor a precious “something” that perhaps no one else understands?
Please, I beg of you, do not let that fire die out.
I am right here, always ready to fan those flames and cheer you on.
The Great Hand Behind the Veil of Masterpieces
A Brilliant Woman Who Rewrote History
Now, let us pause here so I may share with you one of the most beautiful, yet heart-wrenching love stories in human history.
Vincent van Gogh.
There is likely not a single soul on earth who does not recognize this name.
His Sunflowers and The Starry Night are treated as priceless treasures, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars in the world’s greatest museums.
But don’t you find it incredibly strange?
During his actual lifetime, Van Gogh managed to sell only a single painting.
He was a miserable, impoverished painter who suffered from severe mental illness and ultimately took his own life, completely unrecognized by the world.
How is it, then, that his canvases now possess the power to move millions of souls across the globe?
The answer lies in the desperate, lifelong service of a single, extraordinary woman.
Her name was Jo van Gogh-Bonger.
She was the wife of Theo, Vincent’s beloved younger brother who had supported him financially and emotionally through all his dark years.
“In addition to the child, Theo left me another mission: to bring Vincent’s work to as many people as possible, so that his true value may be recognized.”
── Jo van Gogh-Bonger
Barely six months after Vincent passed away, Theo followed his brother into the grave, overcome by grief and illness.
Jo was left entirely alone, holding a newborn infant in her arms, surrounded by an overwhelming mountain of Vincent’s paintings—which society dismissed as the worthless relics of a madman—and the massive bundles of letters exchanged between the two brothers.
Any ordinary person would have succumbed to despair and thrown the paintings away just to survive.
But Jo was exceptionally intelligent, and she was a deeply voracious reader.
The Messenger as the Ultimate Communicator
Jo sat down in the quiet emptiness and began to read through the mountain of letters.
Within those pages, she discovered Vincent’s pure, unadulterated philosophy. Despite shivering in isolation and being wounded by the cold indifference of the world, he had written endlessly of his desire to “paint something that would offer deep, maternal comfort to human hearts.”
“I must never let this beautiful soul, this magnificent art, be buried in the shadows of oblivion,” she resolved.
A fierce conviction took root in her heart.
From that moment on, she began a lifelong, exhausting campaign to reach out to the world.
Ignoring the mocking laughter of the art establishment, she organized exhibition after exhibition.
Furthermore, she meticulously edited and organized that massive chronicle of letters, publishing them as a book.
If Vincent had not poured his thoughts into those letters, and if Jo had not risked her entire life to communicate them to the world, we would not even know the name Vincent van Gogh today.
No matter how magnificent a thing is, if there is no one willing to pour their life into explaining and conveying it, it is as good as non-existent to the world.
“When a product is created in a quiet corner after immense effort and suffering—something that has never been produced before and that no one has ever seen—if you wish to turn that product into a commodity, you must arouse the desire to possess it among the people. No matter how excellent a ‘product’ it may be, it cannot become a ‘commodity’ without that effort.”
── Akio Morita
Akio Morita, the co-founder of Sony, pierced through this fundamental truth, but Jo had already put it into practice more than a century prior, entirely on her own.
She was far more than a grieving widow.
She was a supreme “messenger” on par with Steve Jobs, or Takeo Fujisawa, who sold the Honda Super Cub across the globe, or Shotaro Kamiya, who made the Toyota Corolla a household name. She was the ultimate communicator of true art.
The Echo of the Gospel: Like Jesus and Paul
Jo’s devotion mirrors another towering figure in history with uncanny precision: the Apostle Paul.
Jesus Christ left this world after being crucified on the cross.
If Paul had not literally traversed the Mediterranean world after Jesus’ death, risking his life through countless perils to deliver the message of “Jesus’ life and thought” through his letters, the grand, comforting faith of Christianity would never have spread across the earth.
Theo and Jo were to Vincent what Paul was to Jesus.
Behind every transcendent beauty or salvation, there must always stand a dedicated messenger willing to wear down their own life to deliver it.
“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.”
── The Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 15:3–4)
Just as Paul gave everything to deliver the Gospel, Jo delivered the gospel of Van Gogh to the world.
It was a magnificent, timeless act of service designed to reach through the centuries and comfort you, right here and now.
Words Offered Generously to the Lonely Soul
The Truth Behind Your Tears
My dear, thank you so much for staying with me through this long, winding journey of words.
I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for your gentle, beautiful patience.
“Every hardship and sorrow a human being experiences in their lifetime is nothing less than a sacred trial designed to polish and deepen the soul into something far more beautiful.”
── Michel de Montaigne
As Montaigne beautifully observed, the tears you have wept in secret and the loneliness you have locked away inside your chest are never in vain.
It is precisely because you possess those wounds that you have grown into a truly tender soul, capable of feeling the pain of others.
“Words are like arrows pressed into the human heart. Yet, only the words released with absolute love can become the immortal medicine that gently heals the wound.”
── Abu al-Tayyib al-Mutanabbi
Al-Mutanabbi, the greatest poet of the Arab world, staked his life and his pride upon his verses.
I, too, am releasing these arrows of words for the sole purpose of healing you tonight.
May this warmth find its way into the cold recesses of your lonely chest.
Walking the Eternal Path Together
Our individual lives will all come to an close one day.
However, the service we perform for others and the memories of the love we pour out will endure in this world for a hundred, even two hundred years to come.
The strange world Man Ray pulled from the darkness, the madness of the hours Tokuji Munetsugu spent working, and the vivid colors Jo saved for humanity—all of it has traveled across the vast ocean of history to connect with you right now.
“To commit one’s thoughts to written words is to rescue a part of one’s soul from the eternal darkness, sending it forth on a lonely, beautiful voyage to reach the one you love, whom you have not yet seen.”
── John Calvin
I am currently in the middle of that very voyage.
And through the mist, the only destination I seek is your smile.
I pray that your burden becomes just a little lighter.
I pray that you can learn to love yourself so much more.
Until the very moment the flame of my life flickers out, I promise you here and now that I will remain your dedicated, faithful clown.
Like the fleeting shadow of a bird in flight,
Tracing a brief word of love upon the pavement,
Only to vanish into the air,
I will plant a single, secret flower
Deep within the crevices of your lonely chest—
A brilliant blue blossom no one else has ever seen.
And when the darkness of the night begins to pierce you,
That flower will softly begin to sing,
Using the gentle cadence of my voice:
Do not be afraid of the silence,
For I am right here,
Resting just behind the veil of your tears.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
── The New Testament, Matthew 11:28
“There are times when a human being must absolutely defend their own isolation to the very end. When you stand entirely alone in the midst of a raging storm, understood by no one, the true skeletal frame of your character is forged.”
── Osamu Dazai
“Tell me, why do you set out on a journey?”
“Because I am suffering.”
“I cannot believe in your ‘suffering’ at all; it is far too predictable.”
── Osamu Dazai, Tsugaru
Postscript ── The Tale of a Strange Contemporary Painter
Before we part, please allow me to share a story about a very close friend of mine, meant only for your ears.
There is a contemporary artist named Takamizawa Mimi (高見沢 耳) who is an incredibly eccentric, thoroughly awkward man.
Though he lives and creates in the modern era, he uses neither a physical canvas nor a traditional brush.
Instead, he sits in a darkened room, facing a digital screen, shaving away his own soul to create his art.
He then takes that digital imagery and prints it meticulously onto fine printmaking paper using the sophisticated “giclée printmaking technique,” frames it, and sends it out into the world to find its way to you.
Why does he engage in such a painstaking, indirect process?
Because the themes of his work are fiercely unyielding:
“Your eyes and my eyes, Christianity, eternity, psychology, truth, the gaze, history, solitude, isolation, suffering, resurrection, and liberation.”
He draws human eyes onto his canvases over and over again, entirely single-mindedly.
Why?
Because he wants, more than anything, to lock eyes with you across the digital divide.
He wants to understand the loneliness resting in the depths of your chest, he wants to witness your tears, and he longs from the bottom of his heart to liberate you from your suffering.
To be perfectly candid, Mimi’s raw painterly talent is by no means first-rate. It is third-rate.
But he understands a profound truth. He knows that the masterpieces of art history were not born from effortless, innate genius alone, but from decades of bleeding trial and error, mixed with moments of total despair.
He learned the tempestuous story of Vincent van Gogh, and it was that very realization that made him resolve to become a painter.
The name “Mimi”—which means “ear” in Japanese—was chosen by him as a direct, lifelong homage to Van Gogh’s infamous ear-chopping incident.
The world looks at him and laughs, calling him a weirdo, a fool, and a laughingstock.
Yet, he is a man of unbreakable patience and unyielding resilience; he simply refuses to give up.
The great haiku master Matsuo Basho once wrote:
“Having ultimately no talent and no artistic skill, I simply cling single-mindedly to this one line.”
── Matsuo Basho
Mimi, too, is an awkward man who is utterly incapable of looking away from his path.
Deeply respecting the creed of Tokuji Munetsugu—to look straight ahead and avoid all distractions—he maintains no hobbies. He dedicates twelve or more hours every single day to staring at his screen, painting eyes entirely for the sake of serving you.
His work is an act of pure buffoonery.
He wants to make you smile.
By exposing his own foolishness, he hopes to gently untie the knots of tension in your heart.
He does not care if the rest of the world criticizes him.
His only fear—the only thing that would break him—is if you were to abandon him. If you turn away from him, he will lose his very capacity to survive.
The mere fact that you are here, letting your gaze meet the eyes he has drawn, fills his heart with an overwhelming, breathless joy.
“Most people think of success as something to get. In reality, success is something to give.”
── Henry Ford
“The greatest secret I have learned in life is that when you throw yourself entirely into the service of others, a boundless spring of true happiness wells up in your heart, one that will never run dry.”
── Agatha Christie
“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
── The Prophet Moses (From the Old Testament, the Book of Isaiah)
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Even when the flesh perishes, that resonance remains engraved in the fabric of the universe forever.”
── William Shakespeare
“Whoever destroys a single soul, it is as if he destroyed an entire world; and whoever saves a single soul, it is as if he saved an entire world. Offer your everything to the small life standing right before you.”
── From the Jewish Talmud
“Art is a life-or-death smuggling operation, wherein one takes their own ultimate anguish, refines it into the highest form of beauty, and smuggles it into the hands of a stranger called ‘you.'”
── Osamu Dazai
“Even if I am betrayed by everyone in the world and turned into a complete laughingstock, if a single human being looks at my canvas and sheds a tear, I believe my life has been an absolute, glorious victory.”
── Osamu Dazai
“A human being has no need to feel ashamed of their imperfections. For it is precisely through the cracks of those imperfections that the light of true love and service leaks out to illuminate the dark surroundings.”
── Osamu Dazai
“Have the courage to be the first, and to be different from everyone else.”
── Ray Kroc
“I was an overnight success all right, but thirty years is a long, long night.”
── Ray Kroc

── Walt Disney
“Beauty is the only water that can quench the thirst of the soul. I am merely a craftsman who spends his life digging a well for those who seek that water.”
── Leonardo da Vinci
