"The cost of oblivious daydreaming was always this moment of return, the realignment with what had been before and now seemed a little worse."

Art is my way of surviving.

Diplomacy is to achieve win-win results through compromise, not to seek victory through confrontation.

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them; but they are the money of fools.

——《在东京（民报）创刊周年庆祝大会的演说》（1906年12月2日）

A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.
