Qiu Miaojin
“Only healthy people are capable of being in love. Using love to treat an illness just makes the illness worse.' I realize that's exactly what I did: I used love to fight illness, and it ruined me. I have to change my ways. I can't be like that anymore.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

“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

“Unhealthy love is two people stoking a shared fantasy of desperate beauty, weaponizing passion and desire.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

“Like death, college serves as a kind of escape hatch. But while death takes you straight to the morgue, college is a single rope dangling loose from the inescapable net of society.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

Qiu Miaojin
“The fact is, most people go through life without ever living. They say you have to learn how to construct a self who remains free in spite of the system. And you have to get used to the idea that it's every man for himself in this world. It requires a strange self-awareness, whereby everything down to the finest detail must be performed before the eyes of the world.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile
