“Filsuf Tiongkok menggambarkan kehidupan laksana sungai panjang yang mengalir tanpa henti. Kita, manusia adalah sosok-sosok penumpang yang naik kapal di satu titik, turut berlayar, lalu turun di tempat lain. Beberapa penumpang turun, beberapa penumpang naik. Sungai terus mengalir, kapal terus berlayar, penumpang datang dan pergi. Demikianlah manusia-manusia di tepian sungai abadi Amu Darya ini, datang dan pergi, dalam berbagai wujud rupa, bangsa, agama, dan kebanggaan, dan semuanya, tanpa kecuali, adalah makhluk fana”

“I think memory is the most important asset of human beings. It’s a kind of fuel; it burns and it warms you. My memory is like a chest: There are so many drawers in that chest, and when I want to be a fifteen-year-old boy, I open up a certain drawer and I find the scenery I saw when I was a boy in Kobe. I can smell the air, and I can touch the ground, and I can see the green of the trees. That’s why I want to write a book.”

“The late British-born philosopher Alan Watts, in one of his wonderful lectures on eastern philosophy, used this analogy: "If I draw a circle, most people, when asked what I have drawn, will say I have drawn a circle or a disc, or a ball. Very few people will say I've drawn a hole in the wall, because most people think of the inside first, rather than thinking of the outside. But actually these two sides go together--you cannot have what is 'in here' unless you have what is out there.' "
In other words, where we are is vital to who we are.”
