Dai Sijie
“I was carried away, swept along by the mighty stream of words pouring from the hundreds of pages. To me it was the ultimate book: once you had read it, neither your own life nor the world you lived in would ever look the same.”
Dai Sijie, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress

Rafael Sabatini
“He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.”
Rafael Sabatini, Scaramouche

Theodore Dreiser
“People in general attach too much importance to words. They are under the illusion that talking effects great results. As a matter of fact, words are, as a rule, the shallowest portion of all the argument. They but dimly represent the great surging feelings and desires which lie behind. When the distraction of the tongue is removed, the heart listens.”
Theodore Dreiser, Sister Carrie

Bei Dao
“In the world I am
Always a stranger
I do not understand its language
It does not understand my silence”
Bei Dao

Gore Vidal
“The unfed mind devours itself.”
Gore Vidal
