13. "So long as the capitalist system exists, proletarian antiwar literature must also exist to fight against it.“-Kuroshima Denji
14. " It doesn't matter whether I write about a factory, a farming village, or the army; I draw my materials from ordinary daily life, and in these materials I can find struggles, hopes, and an ideology no less intense than if I dealt with a confrontation...of course there is nothing wrong about describing confrontation, but confrontations occupy only a fraction of a fraction of our entire lives. Before confrontation occurs there is a long period of endurance, pain, pathos, and many other experiences. At present the confrontation between workers and capitalits inevitably casts a shadow in some form or another, even over our daily lives, and we must not overlook this. One can discover the resolution even in a grain of unhulled rice.“ –Kuroshima Denji Literary Style
