Quotes
- “If you're not ready to die, then how can you live?”
- “I'm not Chinese. I thrive in interesting times.”
- “The problem with children is that you have to put up with their parents.”
- “It’s not that I don’t have convictions, or that I won’t defend them. I save my battles for things that have meaning instead of tilting at every mild irritation that comes my way. You can fritter away your whole life with those kinds of windmills.”
- “Jilly always says the family we choose for ourselves is more important than the one we were born into; that people have to earn our respect and trust, not have it handed to them simply because of genetics.”
- “Humanity’s whole unfortunate history is one long account of how we attack what we don’t understand, what’s strange to us.”
