"The term wabi-sabi suggests such qualities as impermanence, humbleness, asymmetry, and imperfection. These underlying principles are diametrically opposed to those of their Western counterparts whose values are rooted in the Hellenic worldview that values permanence, grandeur, symmetry, and perfection." - Andrew Juniper, Wabi-Sabi: The Japanese Art of Impermanence.
“Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional … unpretentious." - Leonard Karen, Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets, and Philosophers.
