“Language is the tool of my trade, and I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.”
“Who knows where inspiration comes from. Perhaps it arises from desperation. Perhaps it comes from the flukes of the universe, the kindness of the muses.”
“I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.”
~ Amy Tan, American novelist
