“Some nations desire power, some seek it, and others have it thrust upon them. By 1945, there was no doubt in Russian minds about the reality of American power in the world. But there remained a very large question as to how Americans would use that power, or even if they would use it at all.”

“Do you remember my friend Fumiko Kobayashi? She loaned me a book by a university professor named Taki Sugiyama Lebra, Japanese Patterns of Behaviour, and she writes that death, particularly voluntary death, is surrounded in this country by a heroic, romantic, aesthetic and emotional aura. She says we often find it hard to communicate and use suicide to make our ideas, or beliefs, or sufferings known. I don't know whether I believe that or not.”
