From Yueheng:
"The artist is a friend to the weak. That's his first motivation and his ultimate goal. It's a plain and simple truth, but it's something I'd forgotten. And it's not just me. Everyone's forgotten that."
--- Osamu Dazai, "Canis familiaris", Self Portraits, translated and introduced by Ralph F. McCarthy
My writing, my painting, my music, be it in jostling thoughts, move-to-tears resonance, or to carry another's similar burden, is but for the love of God to be passed on to the people who need it most, and if that means just one person in the whole wide world, then it has been worth it.
