我不遵守规则,我制定规则。
I don’t follow the rules, I make them.
The beauty of poetry lies in its ability to transcend time and space.
——抵日本神户时谈话,1895年11月12日
I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself.
The evening is the time of day I like best. I love the transition from day to night, the way the light changes, the way the air feels.
With great power comes the need for great caution.
