The past is not dead; it is not even past.

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each as it comes, and I leave it as it goes.

"The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter."

当我看着这个世界时，我是悲观的，但当我看着人们时，我是乐观的。

人生は、小さな幸せの積み重ねでできている。
