The writer's life is a life of sentences.

Music helps me find my way and also lose it.

——〈在东京对同志的声言〉，1915年10月25日

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

我不是为了记录而打球，我打球是因为我爱这项运动。
