I’ve traveled
That dark path to the world
Which comes down from this mountain
Just to see you
One last time.

Is this love reality
Or a dream?
I cannot know,
When both reality and dreams
Exist without truly existing

The color of the flower has faded,
while I lost myself in
idle thought in this long rain

Ono no Komachi
What is it about this twilight hour? Even the sound of a barely perceptible breeze pierces the heart.

Beautiful people are not always good, but good people are always beautiful.

Ali ibn Abi Talib
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.
_
Ali ibn Abi Talib
one for you and one against you, so when it's for you don't be proud or reckless, and when it's against you be patient, for both days are test for you
_
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Hate no one, no matter how much they've wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how hard life is. Give much, even if you've been given little. Keep in touch with the ones who have forgotten you, and forgive who has wronged you, and do not stop praying for the best for those you love.
_
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Never explain yourself to anyone, because the one who likes you would not need it, and the one dislikes you wouldn't believe it.
_
Ali ibn Abi Talib
When proven wrong, the wise man will correct himself and the ignorant will keep arguing.

Ali ibn Abi Talib
