Quotes by Yeng Tan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Yesterday, as I sat in my living room, I was able to see the stars. Specifically, the seven Dipper stars that make the Great Bear. It was not something I thought possible, given the haze and pollution covering the sky, but they radiated at me, called for me. These stars—there were thousands of them if not more; some I could name, some I could not— were all present, having emerged from the emerald sky at twilight. It was during this that I realized something I had long forgotten in my solitude; that they represented every- thing of importance to me. In existence and out of reach, they were fixed forever in the sky that those before and after me were to experience all the same. Indestructible, like memories I could forget but not destroy.”
Yeng K. Tan, Mister Yam

“Right and wrong are sometimes a question of timing.”
Yeng K. Tan, Mister Yam

“I was a tiny Martian, on a new planet, trying to make sense of the environment around me. Was I suffocating on the unfamiliar air? Or had I taken oxygen for granted?”
Yeng K. Tan, Mister Yam

“When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I look outside and see that I am everything, that is love. And between these two, my life flows.”
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.”
Jodi Picoult

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
Søren Kierkegaard

“Interviewer: 'So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?'
Frank Zappa: 'You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?”
Frank Zappa
