Victory is for them, not for us. We have not made profit out of our country's misfortune. Victory does not bring us luck.

Loving truth and living honestly is my attitude to life. Be true to yourself and be true to others, thus you can be the judge of your behavior.

My pen is alight and my body aflame. Until both burn down to ash, my love and my hate will remain here in the world.

Before my eyes are many miserable scenes, the suffering of others and myself forces my hands to move. I become a machine for writing.

Victory is for them, not for us. We have not made profit out of our country's misfortune. Victory does not bring us luck.

I am a person always full of contradictions... It was hard to choose whether to devote myself to revolution as a soldier or as a writer.

I write just because the fire of my emotion is burning. Had I not, I would not have been able to find peace.
