It is this research into pure painting that is the problem at the present moment. I do not know any painters in Paris who are really searching for this ideal world.

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axison which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, withoutrushing toward the future. Live the actual moment.Only this moment is life.

Be present and in the moment.

The present moment is significant, not as the bridge between past and future, but by reason of its contents, which can fill our emptiness and become ours, if we are capable of receiving them.

If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year...Today should always be our most wonderful day.

If a man decides that it is better for him to resist the demands of a present feeble love, in the name of another, of a future manifestation, he deceives either himself or other people, and loves no one but himself. Future love does not exist. Love is a present activity only. The man who does not manifest love in the present has not love.
