Author of quotes: Natsume Soseki. Page 4

However, in view of the fact that my future I couldn't see it, I even suggested that this marriage, perhaps, be able to turn my mental state and serve as a starting point for entry into a new life. But when I finally had all day began to visit with my wife, all my ephemeral aspirations collapsed under the action of inexorable reality.

I mentally compared this new grave, this new for my wife and these new, buried there under the earth, white bone, compare it all and could not help but feel the irony of fate.

I was very happy. However, my happiness was followed by a black shadow, and I thought: "isn't it happiness to those wandering flame, which will lead me ultimately to a sad fate?"

Forgotten from the beginning of the incident that is the tears, I in these moments began to succumb to sadness. I don't even know how much it eased my soul. My heart bound by pain and horror, he received from that grief the first drop of moisture.

This night was nothing more than time.

Dark beams, tapping the future, covered with gloomy light of the rest of my life, for a moment, appeared in front of me.

You win as a politician; as a man you have failed.

But if I wanted to get up and to go further, this would lead to the fact that everyone around would have known that I slipped. At the same time I needed to go further. Sandwiched between these two aspirations, I was like a cripple.

I fervently argued that you can't recognize that philosophy, if it is only to get married, and then everything will be settled somehow. In short, I was the lofty theorist in matters of love and at the same time - the most exacting practitioner.

In the world there are people that are happy that you got the woman, irrespective of whether or not it was: but it's or people of another age than we are, or stupid, do not understand the true meaning of love.

He who has no lofty spiritual aspirations is a fool!

No matter how lofty aspirations, and if all else this is not consistent, it turns out armless cripple.

If you go all the way on the path of suffering, the time will come when they will not disturb.

If to accustom themselves to disasters, these disasters will lose in the end value.
