Favorite Wabi Quotes

1. "Judaism to me, as badly as I practiced it, what I've always loved about it was its total embrace of complexity, its admission of unknowability."
Author: Ben Marcus
2. "There is a preppy wabi-sabi to soft, faded khakis and cotton shirts, but it's not nice to be surrounded by things that are worn out or stained or used up."
Author: Gretchen Rubin
3. "Perhaps as writers, we too should embrace the concept of wabi-sabi:"
Author: J.A. Pak
4. "The Japanese think it strange we paint our old wooden houses when it takes so long to find the wabi in them. They prefer the bonsai tree after the valiant blossoming is over, the leaves fallen. When bareness reveals a merit born in the vegetable struggling."
Author: Jack Gilbert
5. "Beauty can be coaxed out of ugliness. Wabi-sabi is ambivalent about separating beauty from non-beauty or ugliness. The beauty of wabi-sabi is in one respect, the condition of coming to terms with what you consider ugly. Wabi-sabi suggests that beauty is a dynamic event that occurs between you and something else. Beauty can spontaneously occur at any moment given the proper circumstances, context, or point of view. Beauty is thus an altered state of consciousness, an extraordinary moment of poetry and grace."
Author: Leonard Koren
6. "Things are either devolving toward, or evolving from, nothingness. As dusk approaches in the hinterlands, a traveler ponders shelter for the night. He notices tall rushes growing everywhere, so he bundles an armful together as they stand in the field, and knots them at the top. Presto, a living grass hut. The next morning, before embarking on another day's journey, he unknots the rushes and presto, the hut de-constructs, disappears, and becomes a virtually indistinguishable part of the larger field of rushes once again. The original wilderness seems to be restored, but minute traces of the shelter remain. A slight twist or bend in a reed here and there. There is also the memory of the hut in the mind of the traveler — and in the mind of the reader reading this description. Wabi-sabi, in its purest, most idealized form, is precisely about these delicate traces, this faint evidence, at the borders of nothingness."
Author: Leonard Koren
7. "-To doprawdy zagadkowa historia. Religijny czlowiek wychodzi w swiateczny wieczór nie wiadomo po co za miasto, opuszcza paschalna wieczerze, ginie. Kto i w jaki sposób mógl go wywabic? Czy aby nie zrobila tego kobieta?Afraniusz odpowiadal spokojnie, dobitnie:-W zadnym wypadku, procuratorze. Mozliwosc taka jest absolutnie wykluczona. Nalezy myslec logicznie. Kto byl zainteresowany smiercia Judy? Jacys tam wedrowni fantasci, grupka, w której przede wszystkim nie bylo zadnych kobiet. Zeby si ozenic, procuratorze, trzeba miec pieniadze. Zeby wydac na swiat noweg oczlowieka, trzeba ich równiez. Zeby jednak zamordowac czlowieka z pomoca kobiety, potrzebne sa bardzo wielkie pieniadze(...)."
Author: Mikhail Bulgakov
8. "The notion is called wabi-sabi life, like the cherry blossom, it is beautiful because of its impermanence, not in spite of it, more exquisite for the inevitability of loss."
Author: Peggy Orenstein
9. "A moze, w co chetniej wierzyl Achamian, wybrancami byli ci, którzy sie wahali. Czesto myslal o tym, ze wabik falszywej pewnosci jest najbardziej narkotyczna i destrukcyjna ze wszystkich pokus. Kto czynil dobro, tkwiac w niepewnosci, czynil dobro bez obietnicy nagrody... Moze wiec samo zwatpienie bylo kluczem?To pytanie – co zrozumiale – musialo pozostac nierozstrzygniete. Jezeli szczere zwatpienie rzeczywiscie mialo byc warunkiem odkupienia, mogli go dostapic tylko ludzie nieznajacy odpowiedzi."
Author: R. Scott Bakker
10. "Wyruszyl zastanawiajac sie, jak przywolac cebule.Wprawdzie na straganach zwykle widywal ja w wiankach, ale chyba w wiankach nie rosla. Moze chlopi uzywaja szkolonych psów albo spiewaja piesni, zeby ja wywabic?"
Author: Terry Pratchett

You aren't insane, then." "Heavens no," I said. I eyed her. "You don't accept that."You see people that aren't there Mr. Leeds. It's a difficult fact to get around."And, yet, I live a good life," I said. "Tell me. Why would you consider me insane, but the man who can't hold a job, who cheats on his wife, who can't keep his temper in check, you call him sane?"
