Soseki Natsume Quotes

I Tried Instead To Drown My Soul In Drink. I Cannot Say I Like Alcohol, But I Am Someone Who Can Drink If I Choose To, And I Set About Obliterating My Heart By Drinking All I Could. This Was A Puerile Way Out, Of Course, And It Very Quickly Led To An Even Greater Despair With The World. In The Midst Of A Drunken Stupor, I Would Come To My Senses And Realize What An Idiot I Was To Try To Fool Myself Like This. Then My Vision And Understanding Grew Clear, And I Sat Shivering And Sober. There Were Desolate Times When Even The Poor Disguise Of Drunkenness Failed To Work, No Matter How I Drank. And Each Time I Sought Pleasure In Drink, I Emerged More Depressed Than Ever.
