More quotes by Lu Ji

Caught between the unborn and the living, the writer struggles to maintain both depth and surface.

It is like following a branch to find the trembling leaves, like following a stream to find the spring.

When cutting an axe handle with an axe, surely the model is at hand.

However the sentences branch and spread, they grow out of well-placed phrases.

There are no new ideas, only those which rhyme with certain classics.
