尤其推崇阿爾志跋綏夫（Mikhail Artsybashev）的《最後一線》是世界文學最高傑作，隨時放在手邊--- (hc：這部鼓吹自殺，在中國可能是禁書。此或很能說明中國與日本對於文學與自殺，可能有很不同的看法。)

“Although human beings are incapable of talking about themselves with total honesty, it is much harder to avoid the truth while pretending to be other people. They often reveal much about themselves in a very straightforward way. I am certain that I did. There is nothing that says more about its creator than the work itself.”
― Akira Kurosawa, Something Like an Autobiography
Something Like an Autobiography (1982) is the memoir of Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa
