Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
对感受者来说,生活是悲剧;对思考者来说,生活是喜剧。
Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel certain that they mean something else.
——〈在东京对同志的声言〉,1915年10月25日
"The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties."
