Gao Xingjian Quotes

I hadn’t originally intended to do any reading, what if I did read one book more or one book less, whether I read or not wouldn’t make a difference, I would still be waiting to get cremated Picture Quote #1

Reality is myself, reality is only the perception of this instant and it can’t be related to another person Picture Quote #1

It’s in literature that true life can be found. It’s under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be a strong hero who can save society. I just want to save myself Picture Quote #1

I decided that I did not want to follow any of these ideologies or trends, because these also exerted a kind of pressure, and obstructed absolute creative freedom Picture Quote #1

To subvert is not the aim of literature, its value lies in discovering and revealing what is rarely known, little known, thought to be known but in fact not very well known of the truth of the human world. It would seem that truth is the unassailable and most basic quality of literature Picture Quote #1

In my view the time for rousing revolutionary literature has passed, because the revolution has already revolutionised itself to death and has left behind only bitterness and a sort of weariness, listlessness and even nausea Picture Quote #1

Once the buttons are undone, you know how it’ll all end. It’s all in the game, there are no miracles Picture Quote #1

As a male writer, women are always what men pursue, and their world is always a mystery. So I always tried to present as many views as possible on women’s worlds Picture Quote #1

If, while observing the boundless universe, the writer is able to scrutinise his own self as well as others, the resulting incisiveness of his observations will far surpass objective descriptions of reality Picture Quote #1

Everyone has to have either this or that problem, if he can’t find any problem, he loses all reason for living Picture Quote #1

If everyone is a hero, then disasters and atrocities lose their meaning. It’s only when certain people are heroes and others are not that these tragedies and disasters that mankind faces take on meaning Picture Quote #1
