Kenzaburo Oe

« All quotes from this author
 

The destination of the soul: this is what I, led on by Nils Holgersson, came to seek in the literature of Western Europe. I fervently hope that my pursuit, as a Japanese, of literature and culture will, in some small measure, repay Western Europe for the light it has shed upon the human condition.
--
Speech at the Nobel Banquet (10 December 1994)
