"There is perhaps, in us Orientals, an inclination to accept the limits, and the circumstances, of life. We resign ourselves to the shadow, as it is, and without repulsion. Is the light dim? Let us allow the darkness to swallow us, and we discover a beauty in it. On the contrary, the Westerner believes in progress, and wants to change his state. He has gone from the candle to oil, from oil to gas, from gas to electricity, pursuing a clarity that would dislodge even the last particle of shadow."
