"Time is what matters. As time goes by, you and I will be carried inexorably into the mainstream of our period, even though weâ€™re unaware of what it is. And later, when they say that young men in the early Taisho era thought, dressed, talked, in such and such a way, theyâ€™ll be talking about you and me. Weâ€™ll all be lumped togetherâ€¦. In a few decades, people will see you and the people you despise as one and the same, a single entity."

-- Yukio Mishima
