Natsume Sōseki
“He is totally abandoned in the way he buys book after book, never to read a single one. I wouldn't mind if he used his head and bought in moderation, but no. Whenever the mood takes him, he ambles off to the biggest bookshop in the city and brings back home as many books as chance to catch his fancy. Then, at the end of the month, he adopts an attitude of complete detachment.”
Natsume Sōseki, I Am a Cat

“You must not speak ill of other persons. After all, everyone dies when their allotted span is over.”
Natsume Sōseki, I Am A Cat

Natsume Sōseki
“Thus, as I review the list of my friends and acquaintances, most of them emerge as stained with maniac stigmata of one sort or another. I begin to feel considerably reassured. The truth may simply be that human society is no more than a massing of lunatics.”
Sōseki Natsume, I Am a Cat

Natsume Sōseki
“It is painfully easy to define human beings. They are beings who, for no good reason at all, create their own unnecessary suffering.”
Natsume Sōseki, I am a Cat III

Natsume Sōseki
“In the old days, a man was taught to forget himself. Today it is quite different: he is taught not to forget himself and he accordingly spends his days and nights in endless self-regard. Who can possibly know peace in such an eternally burning hell? The apparent realities of this awful world, even the beast lines of being, are all symptoms of that sickness for which the only cure lies in learning to forget the self.”
Natsume Sōseki, I Am a Cat
