Additional quotes by Amy Tan

"And when I say that is certainly true, that our marriage is over. I know what else she will say: "Then you must save it."
And even though I know it's hopeless- there's absolutely nothing left to save-I'm afraid if I tell her that, she'll still persuade me to try."

For woman is yin, the darkness within, where untempered passions lie. And man is yang, bright truth lighting our minds.

I wanted to capture what language ability tests could never reveal: her intent, her passion, her imagery, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

Whenever I'm with my mother, I feel as though I have to spend the whole time avoiding land mines. - Amy Tan
