Natsume Sōseki
“When I was a student, there wasn't a single thing we did that was unrelated to others. It was all for the Emperor, or parents, or the country, or society—everything was other-centered, which means that all educated men were hypocrites. When society changed, this hypocrisy ceased to work, and as a result, self-centeredness was gradually imported into thought and action, and egoism became enormously over-developed. Instead of the old hypocrites, now all we've got are out-and-out rogues. Do you see what I mean by that?”
Natsume Sōseki, Sanshirō

Claude Debussy
“I love music passionately. And because I love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.”
Claude Debussy
