草枕 – Kusamakura

Sōseki Natsume (1867 – 1916) is a famous writer in Japan.  In his novel Kusamakura he said

智に働けば角が立つ。情に棹させば流される。意地を通せば窮屈だ。兎角に人の世は住みにくい。- 夏目漱石

My translation is below:

If you are only rational, you will upset people. If you are only sympathetic, you will not be able to convey your feelings and you will just compromise.  If you are being stubborn, you will be restrained.  In any case, it is not easy to get along with others. – Sōseki Natsume
