Soseki Natsume Quotes

If You Work By Reason, You Grow Rough-edged; If You Choose To Dip Your Oar Into Sentiment's Stream, It Will Sweep You Away. Demanding Your Own Way Only Serves To Constrain You. However You Look At It, The Human World Is Not An Easy Place To Live.

And When Its Difficulties Intensify, You Find Yourself Longing To Leave That World And Dwell In Some Easier One--and Then, When You Understand At Last That Difficulties Will Dog You Wherever You May Live, This Is When Poetry And Art Are Born.
