Qiu Miaojin
“My prototype of a woman was the type who would appear in hallucinations at the last moments of your freezing to death at the top of an icy mountain, a mythical beauty who blurred the line between dreams and reality. For four years, that’s what I believed. And I wasted all of my university days–during which I had the most courage and honesty I would ever have towards life–because of it.”
Miaojin Qiu (邱妙津)

Qiu Miaojin
“Secretly though, I did sort of enjoy being a fucked-up mess. Apart from that, I didn't have a whole lot going on.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí. ¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión, una sombra, una ficción; y el mayor bien es pequeño; que toda la vida es sueño, y los sueños, sueños son.”
Calderon de la Barca, La vida es sueño: drama y auto sacramental

Qiu Miaojin
“Sweeping that other me into their arms, they led me in a dance within societal norms, along a trajectory based on a delusion. (Though I couldn't define what I was, I knew what I wasn't.)”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

Stephenie Meyer
“What if I'm not a superhero. What if I'm the bad guy?”
Stephanie Meyer, Twilight
