Quotes by Xu Xiaobin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Although citizens of the same country who spoke the same language, they belonged to two different worlds. These worlds were far apart and their chances of meeting slim. But an encounter that happens against such long odds is bound to produce stories.”
Xu Xiaobin, Feathered Serpent

“Who says women are water? They are fire. A girl in love is a blazing fire; she rages through all fuel and nothing can stop her; she burns others and then burns herself. She burns all that surrounds her to the ground and from the ashes she continues to spark and sizzle. Women are possessed of that kind of love that is catastrophic, unforgettable, overwhelming.”
Xu Xiaobin, Feathered Serpent

“You use tomorrow to lie to people. But more people care about today.”
Xu Xiaobin, Feathered Serpent
