"A pure feeling that transcends cognition."

"To watch the sun sink behind a flower clad hill. To wander on in a huge forest without thought of return. To stand upon the shore and gaze after a bot that disappears behind distant islands. To contemplate the flight of wild geese seen and lost among the clouds. And, subtle shadows of bamboo on bamboo."

"Life is a lying dream, he only wake Who casts the World aside."

"Dancing and singing, movements on the stage, and the different types of miming are all acts performed by the body. Moments of “no action” occur in between…. The actions before and after an interval of “no action” must be linked by entering the state of mindlessness in which the actor conceals even from himself his own intent."
