I believe in the power of love and music to heal.

With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one - but no one at all - can tell you what to read and when and how.

I'm grateful for every opportunity I've been given.

〈与日人某君的谈话〉，1924年2月

Powerlessness corrupts. Absolute powerlessness corrupts absolutely.

Contemplating the weaknesses of others is easy； contemplating the weaknesses in yourself is hard， but it pays a much higher reward.
