作家的职责是讲述那些别人宁愿忽视的不舒服的真相。

"The stories we tell ourselves are the ones that shape us."

没有经济复苏，就没有日本的未来。

No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

我不去想过去，唯一重要的是未来。

作家的角色是见证，讲述需要被讲述的故事，为无声者发声。

我宁愿因真实而被讨厌，也不愿因虚假而被爱。

我们在二十多岁时做出的选择是我们将领导的生活的基础。
