• The hunger and thirst for knowledge, the keen delight in the chase, the good humored willingness to admit that the scent was false, the eager desire to get on with the work, the cheerful resolution to go back and begin again, the broad good sense, the unaffected modesty, the imperturbable temper, the gratitude for any little help that was given - all these will remain in my memory though I cannot paint them for others.

• That’s why an artist must be a warrior and, like all warriors, artists over time acquire modesty and humility. They may, some of them, conduct themselves flamboyantly in public. But alone with the work they are chaste and humble. They know they are not the source of the creations they bring into being. They only facilitate. They carry. They are the willing and skilled instruments of the gods and goddesses they serve.

  Steven Pressfield

  Humility, Humble, Warrior

• Tal acto
  Que empaña la gracia y el rubor de la modestia;
  llama hipócrita a la virtud; quita la rosa
  De la hermosa frente de un amor inocente
  y pone allí una ampolla; hace que los votos matrimoniales
  Tan falsos como los juramentos de los dicers.

  William Shakespeare

• Como sabes, el shibumi tiene que ver con el gran refinamiento que subyace a las apariencias comunes. Es una afirmación tan correcta que no tiene que ser atrevida, tan conmovedora que no tiene que ser bonita, tan verdadera que no tiene que ser real. Shibumi es comprensión, más que conocimiento. Silencio elocuente. En el comportamiento, es modestia sin pudor. En el arte, donde el espíritu de shibumi adopta la forma de sabi, es simplicidad elegante, brevedad articulada. En filosofía, donde el shibumi emerge como wabi, es tranquilidad espiritual que no es pasiva; es ser sin la angustia del devenir.
