"In my own hands I hold a bowl of tea; I see all of nature represented in its green color. Closing my eyes I find green mountains and pure water within my own heart. Silently sitting alone and drinking tea, I feel these become a part of me." (Soshitsu Sen - Grand Master XIV -
"The tea ceremony is more than an idealization of the form of drinking—it is a religion of the art of life." (Okakura Kakuzo)
