Quote of the day

Masahiro Shinoda on the symbolism of flowers.
Notebook
•

The rose is the symbol of the West; the Western knights would die for women, symbolized by roses. I would never die for a rose, but I might die for a cherry blossom. But these days, the Japanese youth wouldn't—they're still searching for a flower to die for.

—Masahiro Shinoda
