The historian is both detective and storyteller.
我们钦佩的人的品质,如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和同情,在我们的系统中是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质,如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自我中心和自私,却是成功的特质。
The only real prison is the one inside your head.
——《在神户国民党交通部欢迎会的演说》(1913年3月13日)
The poet is a man who looks at the world and sees it as it is, but also as it could be.
It is a first principle of human action that a man does what he believes will satisfy his desires.
