I went out into the woods to write a book, no one got a clue that The Journal Of Arthur Stirling was actually about me:(

I resented critics who reviewed my work as Chinese literature when I felt I was writing American stories about America. I had the sense of small minds in China and America defending their smaller reality.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up. #lovehasnolabels

Michelle and I are so inspired by all the young people who made today’s marches happen. Keep at it. You’re leading us forward. Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change.

Hunger also changes the world - when eating can’t be a habit, then neither can seeing.

[Maxine Hong Kingston @HongMaxine]

To me success means effectiveness in the world, that I am able to carry my ideas and values into the world - that I am I able to change it in positive ways.

The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods.

[Maxine Hong Kingston @HongMaxine]

I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for contradictions.
