Chapter 31 Dwarf Words - 2

Moore's words ①George Moore (1852-1933), Irish novelist, critic, and playwright. George Moore included this sentence in "Memorandum of Me Who Died for Me": "Great painters are very careful about the place where they sign, and never let their signature appear in the same place twice." Of course, "never let your name appear twice in the same place", is impossible for any painter.But this is not to blame.What surprised me was the statement "great painters are very careful about where they sign their names".Oriental painters have never underestimated the place where the signature is signed.Note where the inscription, etc., are clichés.When I think of Moore, who specially wrote about this matter, I can't help but feel the difference between the East and the West.

masterpiece Confusing masterpieces with masterpieces is indeed materialism in taste.Great works are only a matter of wages. Compared with Michelangelo's fresco "The Last Judgment", I prefer Rembrandt's self-portrait in his sixties. ① Michelangelo (1475-1564), a painter in the high period of the Italian Renaissance.Sculptor, architect and poet. my favorite works The works I love, — literary and artistic works, in the final analysis, can feel the works of writers and other people through them; people —— a specific person with a mind, a heart, and senses.But unfortunately most writers are cripples who lack some part (of course, sometimes great cripples cannot but be admired).

Watch "Hongni Pass" It's not the man who catches the woman, it's the woman who catches the man. — George Bernard Shaw dramatized this fact in Man and Superman.However, it did not start with Bernard Shaw that dramatized this.After watching Mei Lanfang's "Hongni Pass", I realized that there are dramatists in China who have noticed this fact.Not only that, but in the book "Xi Kao", besides "Hongni Pass", it also records many stories about women using Sun Wu's military art and using swords and halberds to catch men. The heroine Jin Lian in "Dong Jiashan", the heroine Gui Ying in "Yuanmen Zhanzi", and the heroine Jin Ding in "Shuangsuo Mountain" are all such heroines.Look at Lihua, the heroine of "The Margin of Horses", not only captures the young general she loves from the horse, but also insists on marrying him regardless of the other party saying that she is sorry for her wife.Mr. Hu Shi once said to me: "I want to deny the value of all Beijing operas except "Four Jinshi". But these Peking operas are at least rich in philosophy.In the face of this value, Mr. Hu Shi, the philosopher, shouldn't he moderate his thunderous anger a little bit?

experience Relying solely on experience is the same as relying solely on food without regard to digestion.At the same time it is the same to rely solely on ability when experience is empty, and to rely solely on digestion without regard to food. Achilles① ①Achilles is a hero in Greek mythology, except for his heels that are not soaked in water, he is invulnerable to swords and arrows.Describe that in the Trojan War, the enemy shot his heel with an arrow and killed him.Hence the idiom "Achilles' heel", which means Achilles' heel or weak link. It is said that only the heel of the Greek hero Achilles was fatal. —That is to say, in order to understand Achilles, one must understand his heels.

artist's happiness The happiest artist is the one who gets his name in his later years.From this point of view, Kunikida Doppo is not an unfortunate artist. good old man Women often don't want their husbands to be nice.But men often want their friends to be nice. again The good old man is first of all like a god in the sky.First, you can talk about happy things; second, you can talk about grievances; third - it doesn't matter if you have him or not. crime It is not difficult to practice "hate what you hate and not hate others".Most kids live up to this maxim with respect to most parents.

peaches and plums "Peaches and plums make their own way without saying anything." ① This is indeed the words of a wise man.The main thing is not "Peaches and plums do not speak", but actually "Peaches and plums do not speak". ① The words come from "Historical Records Biography of General Li". great People love to be courted by greatness in personality and business.However, I have never liked facing greatness. advertise The "To Sasaki Moso-kun" in the December issue of "The Word of the Dwarf" is not to belittle Sasaki-kun.It is a critic who mocks and does not recognize Sasaki-kun.Using this incident as an advertisement may contempt the minds of the readers of "The Spring and Autumn Period of Literature and Art".However, a certain critic actually thought that was disparaging Sasaki-kun.Hearing that this critic also has quite a few followers, I wanted to place the ad.It was not my intention to make this public.In fact, it was the result of senior mobilization by Satomi-kun.Readers who are angry about this ad please blame Satomi-kun.

① Satomi Kan (1888-1983), a Japanese novelist. author of dwarf talk Supplementary Ads The "blame Satomi-kun" mentioned in the previous advertisement is of course my joke.In fact, it's okay to not add blame.While admiring a group of geniuses represented by a certain critic, I became somewhat neurotic than usual. ditto refill ad The supplementary advertisement for the previous disclosure said: "I admire a group of geniuses represented by a certain critic", which is of course irony. ditto Art The power of painting is three hundred years, the power of calligraphy is five hundred years, and the power of writing is infinite. This is what Wang Shizhen said.However, according to the excavations in Dunhuang, calligraphy and painting still maintain their strength after five hundred years.However, it is doubtful whether the article can maintain its power in the eternal.Ideas cannot exist beyond the domination of the times.Our ancestors seem to appear in the word "god" as a figure in a girdle, and we appear in the same word as a European with a long beard.This is not limited to gods, it can appear in any phenomenon.

②Wang Shizhen (1526-1590), a litterateur of the Ming Dynasty in China.Jiajing Jinshi, official to Nanjing Ministry of punishment. again I can't remember when I saw a portrait of Dongzhou Zhai Sile.The figure in the painting unfolds a fan painted in green mother-of-pearl style on its chest.This is of course to enhance the overall color effect.However, when viewed with a magnifying glass, the painted green is a gold that produces a patina.I was really moved by the beauty of this portrait painted by Sara.However, my touch is indeed different from the beauty captured by Sara.I think that kind of change will also occur in the article.

①Sara is a ukiyo-e painter in the middle of the Edo period in Japan, named Dongzhou Zhai. again Art is like women.To look your best, you must be surrounded by the spirit and fashion of an era. again Not only that, art must also carry a yoke in space.In order to love the art of the people of a country, one must know the lives of the people of a country.Sir Rutherford Alkirk, British envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, who was attacked by wandering samurai at Tozenji, thought that our Japanese music was nothing but noise.There is a passage in his "Three Years in Japan": "On the way uphill, we heard the sound of a yellow warbler similar to a nightingale. That is to say, the Japanese taught the yellow warbler how to sing. If this is true, it is really surprising .It turns out that the Japanese don’t know how to teach music by themselves.” (Volume II, Chapter 29)

② Rutherford Alkirk (1809-1897), British diplomat. genius There is only one step between genius and us.In order to understand this step, we must understand the hypermathematics that half of Baili Road is ninety-nine miles. again There is only one step between genius and us.The same generation often does not understand that this step is a thousand miles away, and the future generations are completely puzzled by this step of a thousand miles.The same generation kills the genius because of this, and the descendants burn incense in front of the genius because of this. again The stinginess of the populace in acknowledging genius is unbelievable.And this method of acknowledgment is often quite comical.

again The tragedy of genius lies in acquiring "a reputation for being a dainty and comfortable man." again Jesus: "Though I play the flute, you will not dance." They said, "Although we dance, you should not be satisfied." lie No matter where we are, we cannot cast a "sacred vote" for those who do not support our interests.The replacement of "our interests" with "the interests of the world" is a lie of the entire republican system.I think that such lies cannot be eradicated even under Soviet power. again Forming one, but adopting two minds, if you play with the touchpoints, you will see how you have been nurtured by many lies, so the idiom of everything is often a problem. again Is it not in fact that which gives our society the appearance of rationality is that which is unreasonable—that which is very, very unreasonable? lenin Lenin was a most natural hero, which astonished me. gamble Chance, that is, one who wrestles with the gods, is often full of mysterious majesty.Gamblers are no exception. again People who are keen on gambling in ancient times are non-world-weary, which shows how much a life like gambling is. again Gambling is prohibited by law, not because it is illegal under the wealth distribution laws of gambling.In fact, it is just to blame that kind of economic interest. skepticism Skepticism is also based on a belief—on a belief that should be doubted but not doubted.It is true that this may be contradictory, but skepticism doubts even that there is a philosophy that is not based on belief. Upright If we really want to be upright, then we will immediately find that no one can be upright.So we have to feel bad for integrity. hypocritical I know a good liar.She is happier than anyone.However, Tian Yu was so skillful at lying that even when he told the truth, people thought he was lying.This is indeed the tragedy of this woman in anyone's eyes. again I am as good a liar as any artist is.However, he always lost to that woman.That woman can actually remember last year's lie like it was told five minutes ago. again I understand misfortune.Know that sometimes in addition to relying on lying, there is also the misfortune of not being able to tell the truth. everyone You fear corruption because of the art of youth.But rest easy!You will not fall so easily. again You fear that art will poison the nation.But first, rest assured!At least artistically poisoning you is absolutely impossible.It is absolutely impossible to poison those who do not understand the charm of the art of 2,000 years. endure Patience is romantic humiliation. attempt Success doesn't have to be difficult.However, desire is often difficult, at least if there is desire in success. again To know the size of their plans, we can only look at their plans from their success. Soldier An ideal soldier must absolutely obey no matter what orders the commander gives.The question of absolute obedience cannot be criticized absolutely.That is to say, the ideal soldier must first be irrational. again An ideal soldier must absolutely obey no matter what orders the commander gives.The problem with absolute obedience is absolute irresponsibility.That said, the ideal soldier should first and foremost love irresponsibility. military education The so-called military education is actually just imparting knowledge of military terms.Additional knowledge or training does not wait until after military education.Now it is the army and navy schools, not to mention mechanics, physics, applied chemistry, foreign languages, even kendo, judo, and swimming are still hiring specialists?But when you think about it more deeply, military terms are also different from academic terms, and most of them are colloquial terms.That is, military education is practically non-existent.The gain or loss of something that does not actually exist, of course, will not be a problem. Diligent and thrifty There is nothing more boring than the idiom "diligent, thrifty and martial".Martial arts is an international luxury.Aren't the big powers spending a lot of money on armaments at present?If "diligent and thrifty and martial arts" is not an idiot's talk, then "diligent and thrifty wandering" can certainly be used as a lingua franca. Japanese I think the loyalty and filial piety of the Japanese people for two thousand years is the same as that of Hikomei Saruta who used pomade.Isn't it time to thoroughly understand the true colors of history? ① Saruta Hikoko is a god in ancient Japanese mythology, who opened the way for the descendant of heaven to come to the world. Japanese pirates The Japanese pirates showed that we Japanese are capable enough to keep company with the great powers.We are by no means inferior to the Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch, and English who came to find the "Golden Isle" in robbery, murder, and adultery. "Grass in vain" People have asked me this way many times: "Maybe you like "Van Ran Grass"?" However, unfortunately, I have never liked "Vain Ran Grass".I think it's useful as a mediocre textbook at best. symptoms One of the symptoms of being in love is to wonder how many men she has loved in the past, or what kind of men she has loved, and feel apathetic jealousy towards some imaginary people. again Another symptom of being in love is a hypersensitivity to discovering faces like her. love and die Love makes people think of death, perhaps grasping the basis of the theory of evolution.Immediately after mating in spiders or bees, the male is stabbed to death by the female.When I watch operas performed by Italian actors on tour, I somehow always feel that Carmen moves like a bee. substitute In order to love that woman, we often use women other than her as her substitute.It wasn't just when she turned us down that she got into this situation.Sometimes from cowardice, sometimes from the demands of beauty, we may well make a woman a rival to this cruel consolation. marry Marriage is effective in regulating sexual desire.However, it is ineffective in regulating love. again After he married in his twenties, he has not once been entangled in a relationship.How vulgar it is! how busy It is not so much rationality that saves us from love as being too busy.In order to have a perfect relationship, the most important thing is time.Werther ①, Romeo ②, Tristan ③—let us look at the ancient lovers, they are idlers. ① Werther is the protagonist of the novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther" by the German writer Goethe. ②Romeo is the protagonist of Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet". ③ Tristan is the protagonist in the medieval story of Western Europe "Tristan and Ishult". man Men have always respected work more than love.If in doubt about this fact, read Balzac's letter.Balzac said in a letter to the Countess Hansga: "This letter already exceeds how many francs if the manuscript fee is converted." ④ Han Sijia is Balzac's lover, they later married. etiquette The hairdresser who used to walk around my house more than a man had a daughter.I still remember it was a girl of twelve or thirteen with a pale face.In order to teach the daughter etiquette, the female comber was very strict.Especially when you leave the pillow while sleeping, you will be scolded.However, I recently heard from someone that this girl had already become a geisha before the Great Kanto Earthquake.When I heard this, I felt a little sad, but I had to smile.That woman must have become an artist, and probably followed her strict mother's upbringing, never leaving her pillow when sleeping... free No one can but demand freedom.However, this is only scratching the surface.In fact, no one wants a little freedom deep down in his heart.There is one piece of evidence, that is, the hooligan who kills without blinking an eye, didn't he also say that he killed so-and-so for the sake of a country with everything in it?But freedom has no restrictions on our behavior, that is to say, we don't bother to bear such responsibilities related to God, morality, or social habits, etc. again Freedom, like the air on a mountaintop, is too much for the weak. again Take a serious look at freedom, and immediately you will see the face of God. again Liberalism, free love, free trade -- whatever "freedom" it is.It just so happens that a lot of water is mixed into the cups, and the accumulated old water is always mixed in. Walk the talk In order to gain the reputation of being consistent with words and deeds, one must first be good at defending oneself. convenient Although there is a sage who does not deceive one person, there is no sage who does not deceive the world.The so-called "skillful means" in Buddhism is actually a spiritual strategy. art supremacists Most of the fanatical art supremacists in ancient times were losers in art.Just like the fanatical nationalists, it seems that most of them are subjugated people-none of us would want to get what we already have. historical materialism If any novelist must describe life on the basis of Marx's historical materialism, then any poet must also praise the sun, moon, mountains and rivers on the basis of Copernican's theory of earthquakes.Instead of "the sun is setting", say "the earth rotates by a few degrees and minutes", I am afraid it is not always graceful. China When firefly larvae eat a snail, they don't kill the snail.In order to eat new meat often, just paralyze the snails.After all, the attitude of the big powers headed by our Japanese Empire towards China is no different from the attitude of fireflies towards snails. Fiction A true novel is not merely a novel in which events unfold with little chance, but a novel with even less chance than life itself. article The language in the article should be more beautiful than that in the dictionary. again They all claim to be "literary like their own people" like Xiniu ①.However, what I think in my heart is "people are like writing". ①Chrysanthemum ox is Takayama ox (1871-1902), a Japanese literary critic. woman's face Women, driven by passion, have uncanny girlish faces.This enthusiasm, in particular, does not hinder the enthusiasm for parasols. Wisdom Putting out a fire is not as easy as starting it.The representative of this kind of wisdom in life may be the protagonist of ②.When he was making a lover, he was already considering breaking up. ②It is a novel by the French writer Maupassant. again If you simply live in the world, it is better not to suffer from lack of enthusiasm.Rather, it is clearly the lack of indifference that is dangerous. constant production Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. This is something that happened two thousand years ago.Those who have permanent property now seem to have no perseverance. them I was amazed at how the couple embraced and lived life without being in love.But it's not known why they marvel at a pair of lovers dying in an embrace. language created by writers Words such as "strange", "high-class vagabond", "self-exhibitionist" and "old-fashioned" became popular in the literary world, starting with Mr. Natsume.This kind of language created by writers is certainly not unavailable after Mr. Natsume.Kume Masao-kun's "smiling wry smile" and "fearful cowardice" are probably the most prominent.In addition, the use of "wait, wait, wait" is the creation of Mr. Uno Koji①.We don't always express admiration consciously.Not only that, but there is sometimes conscious admiration for our perceived enemies, monsters, and dogs.In an article cursing a certain writer, it may not necessarily be accidental that the language invented by that writer is quoted. ① Koji Uno (1891-1961), Japanese novelist. toddler Why on earth do we love young children?At least half of this reason is due to the fact that there is no need to worry about being deceived by children. again It is only in the presence of children—or only in the presence of dogs and cats—that we calmly and unashamedly expose our stupidity. Chi Daya ① ① Ike Daya (1723-1776), a representative figure of southern painting in the Edo period of Japan, commonly known as Hishiya Kazaemon. "Daya is a rather rough-and-tumble person, neglecting the affairs of the world. When welcoming his wife, Yulan, he didn't know the way of husband and wife. From this, we can observe him a little bit." ② Yulan (? -1784), the wife of Chi Daya, is also a representative figure of Nanhua in the Edo period. "The story of Daya welcoming his wife without knowing how to be a couple is interesting from the point of view of being divorced from human life; however, the same can probably be said from the point of view of stupidity that has no common sense at all." Believers in this legend, as the article cited here shows, still exist among artists and art historians today.Daya may not have practiced the way of conjugal marriage when he married Yulan. However, if it is believed that he does not understand the way of conjugal marriage-then this person himself undoubtedly has a strong sexual desire. It is impossible not to implement it. Hagyu Sorai① ① Ogyu Sorai (1666-1728), a Sinologist in the Edo period of Japan. Hagyu Sorai chewed fried beans and yelled at the ancients for thinking it was fast.I believe he chewed fried beans to save money, but why he scolded the ancients has never been understood to me.But if you think about it today, it's because it's really harmless compared to scolding people today. small maple tree Touch the trunk of a small maple tree with your hand, and the clusters of young shoots on the top of the tree will tremble like nerves.Plants are really creepy! toad The most beautiful color of carnation is the color of a toad's tongue. crow I stood on the roof of my neighbor on a snowy evening and saw a black crow. writer The most indispensable thing in writing an article is the enthusiasm for creation.A certain degree of health is the most indispensable thing in order to keep his creative enthusiasm high.Those who despise Swedish gymnastics, vegetarianism, and compound amylase have no ambition to write. ①Swedish gymnastics is the origin of modern gymnastics. It was founded by Swede Ringer in the early 19th century and is divided into four parts: medical gymnastics, educational gymnastics, military gymnastics, and beauty gymnastics. again Anyone who wants to be a writer, no matter what kind of city person he is, must be a barbarian in his soul. again Those who want to write are ashamed of themselves, which is a crime.No germ of originality grows on a mind that is ashamed of itself. again Centipede: Show me how you walk with your feet! Butterfly: Hmph, show me how you fly with your wings! again Qiyun is the back of the writer's head.The writer himself cannot see it.If you insist on seeing it, you may have to twist the neck bone. again Critic: Can you only write about the lives of the staff? Writer: Is there anyone who can write about anything? again All the geniuses of old hang their hats on nails in the walls beyond the reach of our mortal hands.But there must be a stool to step on. again But that stepping stool is available at any thrift store. again Every writer has the face of a carpenter in some way.But, that's no shame.Any carpenter also has the face of a writer in some way. again Not only that, but any writer is simultaneously setting up shop.What?Can't my work sell?Let me tell you, that was when no one bought it!Or that's when it doesn't matter if I don't sell it! again The happiness of an actor or singer is that their work does not remain. —I can't help thinking that sometimes. The following is the legacy: defend It is harder to defend yourself than to defend others.If in doubt, see a lawyer! woman Sound reason commands: "You, stay away from women." But a sound instinct commands exactly the opposite: "Do not shy away from women, you." again Woman to us men is the real life, the source of all evil. reason I despise Voltaire.We can only curse our existence if reason has always existed.But how happy is the author of Candide, who revels in admiring the world! ①The Innocence is a philosophical novel written by the French Enlightenment thinker, philosopher, and writer Voltaire (1694-1778). nature One of the reasons why we love nature, at least, is that it is not as envious and deceitful as we humans are. way of life The wisest way to live in the world is to despise the conventions of society and live a life that does not contradict the conventions of society. worship women Goethe, who worshiped the "eternal woman", was indeed a happy person.However, Swift, who despises Yahoo ②, has to die in madness.Is this due to the female curse?Or is it due to the curse of reason? ②That is Yehu, the animals (referring to people) driven by horses in the country of horses described in Swift's novel (1726).The social crimes at that time were greedy for money and aggressive.Drunkenness and debauchery are concentrated upon them. reason What rationality taught me is that rationality has no power after all. destiny Fate is more inevitable than chance. The phrase "fate is in character" was by no means born in a leisurely way. professor If we borrow medical terms, teaching literature and art is tantamount to clinical medicine.However, they have never felt the pulse of life.In particular, although some of them know the literature and art of England and France, they claim that they do not understand the literature and art of the motherland that gave birth to them. Unity of knowledge and morality We don't even know ourselves.And it's even more difficult to put what we know into practice.Maeterlinck, who wrote "Wisdom and Destiny", also knew nothing about wisdom and destiny. Art The most difficult art is to send life away casually, but the meaning of "casually" does not mean being brazen. free thinker Free thinkers are weak because they are free thinkers.After all, he couldn't fight as ferociously as a fanatic. destiny Fate may be the son of regret. — or regret may be the child of fate. his happiness His happiness is due to his own lack of education.At the same time it was his misfortune—oh, what a bore! novelist The best novelists are "poets of the world." language All languages, like coins, have two sides.For example, the other side of the language "sensitive" can only be "cowardly". creed of a certain materialist "I don't believe in God. I believe in nerves." fool A fool always thinks everyone else is a fool. ability to live in the world In any case, "hate" is also one of the talents in life. repent The ancients repented before the gods.People today repent in front of society.No one, then, but a fool and a villain, can bear the miseries of life without some repentance, perhaps. again However, no matter who's confession is, how much credit it can have is naturally another matter. After reading "New Life" Can there really be a "new life"? Tolstoy After reading Birkov's biography of Tolstoy, you can know that Tolstoy's "My Confession" and "My Religion" are lies.But there is nothing more tragic than the heart of Tolstoy who keeps repeating this lie.His lies dripped more blood than the truth of others. ①Bilkov (1860-1934), manager of the magazine "Arbitrator" founded by Leo Tolstoy. two tragedies The tragedy of Strindberg's career is the tragedy of "flying around".But the tragedy of Tolstoy's career was, unfortunately, not a "flying horse".So the latter ends in a greater tragedy than the former. Strindberg He knows everything.And he exposed what he knew without reservation.Unreservedly——no, he is the same as us, maybe he has some intentions! again Strindberg said he had experimented there on whether death was painful.However, this kind of experimentation is not something that games can do.He is also a person who "wanted to die on the one hand but did not die". an idealist He had no doubts that he was a realist.However, he himself idealized himself after all. fear It is often the fear of the enemy that brings us to arms.And often it's the fear of a fictional enemy that doesn't exist. us We are all ashamed of ourselves and fear them at the same time.But no one speaks frankly of this fact. in love To be in love is something subject to the poetic expression of sexuality.Sexual desire, at least not expressed in poetry, has no value in being in love. a seasoned person He is indeed a seasoned man.He never fell in love when it could cause a scandal. suicide The only feeling common to all men is the terror of death.Perhaps it is no accident that people who commit moral suicide have a bad reputation. again Montan, who justifies suicide, contains much truth.Those who do not commit suicide do not commit suicide, but because they cannot commit suicide. again If I want to die, I can die anytime! Then you die and see! revolution Revolution over revolution!Then, compared with today, we will have a taste of reasonable human suffering. die Mainländer speaks quite correctly of the charm of death.In fact, as long as we are moved by the charm of death under certain circumstances, it is difficult to escape from this circle.Not only that, it seems to be walking in concentric circles, step by step towards death. "Iroha" tank ① ① "Iroha" tanka, also known as Irohage, is said to have been written by Kukai (774-835), a monk in the early Heian period of Japan, but it is actually a work in the middle of the Heian period.The content is full of Buddhist thoughts of death. The indispensable thoughts in our life may all be contained in the "Iroha" tanka. destiny Heredity, circumstance, chance—these are the three that control our destiny.Just like what you like.But it would be presumptuous to speak of others. mocker People who laugh at others are also people who are afraid of being laughed at by others. a japanese language Make me a slave!Otherwise give me freedom of speech! humane What is human and human is, on the whole, indeed animal. a genius He is convinced that even if he can become a villain, he must never become a fool.However, after a few years, although he has not become a villain, he is still a fool. Greek You Greeks who put Nemesis above Jupiter, you know everything. again But it also shows how slow our human progress is. "Bible" The wisdom of an individual is not as good as the wisdom of a nation.If it were a little more concise... a filial person He is filial to his mother.Of course, she knows how to use caressing and kissing to comfort the widowed mother sexually. a demonist He is a poet of demonism.However, in real life, if you only cross the safety zone once, you don't want to suffer again. a suicide He is determined to kill himself for a trivial matter.But committing suicide on this ground damaged his self-esteem.Holding the pistol, he said proudly to himself: "Napoleon must have felt itchy if he was bitten by a flea!" a leftist He is the far left of the far left.Therefore, I despise the far left. unconsciously It is a feature of our character—at least the most striking feature—that our unconsciousness exceeds our conscious. reserved We are most proud of only what we don't own.Example: T is good at German.However, it is English books that are often placed on his desk. Idol No one has any objection to destroying idols.At the same time, there is no objection to treating oneself as an idol. again However, it is impossible for anyone to become an idol calmly.Of course destiny is an exception. Citizens of Heaven Citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven should first of all have no stomach pouches and genitals. a happy person He is more innocent than anyone else. self loathing The worst symptom of ego loathing is to look for lies in everything.No, it's not just that.And to find no satisfaction in finding a lie. appearance The most timid people always appear the bravest. human nature It is characteristic of us human beings to make mistakes that God never made. punish There is no punishment more painful than impunity.This kind of absolute impunity, if it is protected by God, is a different matter. crime Risky behavior within the bounds of morality or law - is crime.So no matter what kind of crime it is, it has to be legendary. I I have no conscience.I have only nerves. again I always think that it is better for others to die, and among others even my own flesh and blood are included. again I always think like this: when I am obsessed with her, she is obsessed with me; when I dislike her, she also dislikes me. again After I was over thirty, whenever I was about to fall in love, I wrote lyric poems desperately, and retreated before I got deep.However, this is not my progress in morality, but because I feel that it is better to have a little calculation in my heart. again I also get bored talking for more than an hour with a woman I love deeply. again I lie a lot.But lies, whether written or spoken, are extremely bad. again Sharing a woman with a third party does not dissatisfy me.But without knowing the fact that the third person is happy or unhappy, I often suddenly feel disgusted with this woman for no reason. again Sharing a woman with a third party does not dissatisfy me.But there is one condition: either you have never met the third party, or the relationship is very distant. again I still can't restrain my love for a woman who betrays her husband to love a third party.But for a woman who loves a third person and does not care about her children, I feel disgusted all over my body. again Only innocent children can make me sentimental. again When I was less than thirty years old, I fell in love with a woman.This woman said to me once: "I'm very sorry for your wife." I don't feel particularly sorry for my wife.But, strangely enough, this sentence touched my heart.I thought frankly: maybe I'm sorry for this woman too.I still have tender feelings for this woman to this day. again I am indifferent to money.Of course it's because I don't have to worry about eating. again I am filial to my parents, because both parents are in their twilight years. again If I never told the truth to two or three friends, I never told a lie.Because they never lie either. Life Even if there is revolution plus revolution, our human life is bleak and hopeless except "as the chosen few".And 'being the chosen few' is just another name for 'fool or villain'. people Shakespeare, Goethe, Lee Taebaek, Chimatsu Monzaemon will all perish.But art must leave its seeds among the masses.In the twelfth year of the Taisho era, I wrote "It is better to have broken pieces of jade than to have whole tiles".I have not shaken this belief to this day. ① The 12th year of Taisho was 1923. again Listen to the rhythmic sound of the hammer hitting!As long as that rhythm exists, art will never die. (The first day when the era name was changed to Showa ①) ① In 1926, Japan's era name was changed to Showa. again I have failed.But what created me must also create others.The withering of a tree is nothing more than a trifle.As long as the land that holds countless seeds remains.
