Interesting quote...

"...Suzuki tells us, in another context, that it is a misfortune for a member of the human race to die without knowing the Japanese language."

Quote from 'Suzuki, kotoba no ningengaku, ibid, pp100, 123', 'Dale, Peter. N, The Myth of Japanese Uniqueness (NY: St Martins Press, 1986).'

you'd think so, huh? :)
I find it interesting that it is a Japanese person saying it too...
