And Hitler was a painter...

[KENNETH HOUGHTON]

     I'm the President of a big country. I'm also an ordinary person. As I 
     told you, I majored in engineering. But I feel that no matter what 
     one's profession, if one can enjoy reading some literature, enjoy some 
     music, that can be very helpful to the healthy growth of the person. 
     So to take a rest does not mean just to sit there. If you read 
     Shakespeare, if you read Goethe, if you read Balzac, that's also very 
     good rest. Not long ago, I visited the hometown of Tolstoy. I found 
     that trip really enjoyable. Concerning music, if I have time, I often 
     listen to Mozart, to Beethoven, and to Schubert. I also regard it as 
     very good rest.
