hiba1409 's review for:
The Setting Sun
by Osamu Dazai
"not to have been aware of the obvious fact that carelessness leads to conflagrations"
"a maiden’s smile is more precious than history, philosophy, education, religion, law,
politics, economics, and all the other branches of learning.
Learning is another name for vanity. It is the effort of human beings not to be human beings."
"I wanted to become coarse, to be strong—no, brutal. I thought that was the only way I could qualify myself as a “friend of the people.”"
"It is painful for the plant which is myself to live in the atmosphere and light of this world. Somewhere an element is lacking which would permit me to continue. I am wanting. It has been all I could do to stay alive up to now"
"All men are alike.
What a servile remark that is. An utterance that degrades itself at the same time that it degrades men, lacking in all pride, seeking to bring about the abandonment of all effort. Marxism proclaims the superiority of the workers. It does not say that they are all the same. Democracy proclaims the dignity of the individual. It does not say that they are all the same. Only the lout will assert, “Yes, no matter how much he puts on, he’s just a human being, same as the rest of us.”"
