Moriguchi Kunihiko Quotes & Sayings

We all spend so much time not saying what we want, because we know we can't have it. And because it sounds ungracious, or ungrateful, or disloyal, or childish, or banal. Or because we're so desperate to pretend that things are OK, really, that confessing to ourselves they're not looks like a bad move. Go on, say what you want ... Whatever it is, say it to yourself.

Hour by hour. Through patience, honesty, humility. — Marcus Aurelius

Lee
