“Bridges have to be built from both sides of a river, though.”
Galsan Tschinag, The Blue Sky

“هنر خواندن نگاه‌ها از نقطه ضعف‌های چنگیزخان بزرگ است. و علت این هم شاید این باشد که فرمانروایان قدرتمند فرقی با زنانی ندارند که سیمایی بی‌عیب از خود می‌نمایانند اما در پس آن عیبشان یا یکی از عیوبشان را هم پنهان کرده‌اند و باید عمری را همیشه در هراس از این بگذرانند که کسی عیبشان را برملا کند یا خیانت ببینند. چون، آه، خان من، نگاه آدمیان کتابی است که ممکن است به سادگی بد خوانده شود و خیال کنی آنچه در پی آن بوده‌ای در آن یافته‌ای.”
Galsan Tschinag, Die neun Träume des Dschingis Khan

“نمی‌دانستم چطور دوباره زنده شوم، چون کلمات می‌کًشند و چطور دوباره پوست بر تنم بکشم، چون کلمات پوست می‌کنند.”
Galsan Tschinag, Die neun Träume des Dschingis Khan
