More quotes by Geling Yan

Death is not completely tragic, perhaps it will be the completion of a redemption, or the beginning of a rebirth.

But it’s frustrating, that you know what good literature is but you cannot get it totally right.

Any suffering registered in your mind makes the emotion deeper. Maybe as a writer, I am constantly looking for tragedy.

I like to play with words. In English, there's only one or two ways to say something; in Chinese there are 30 ways.

Of course, the vision of many works, such as the sense of picture and imagery, is actually unconscious by the writer. If the writer is conscious, he will write very artificial things.
