Additional quotes by Amy Tan

It isn't that i consider them brave, they are reckless, unpredictable, maddeningly unreliable. But like rogue waves and shooting stars, they also add thrills to a life that otherwise would be as regular as the tide, as routine as day passing into night.

The best life you can have as you get into old age is good food, good teeth to eat it with, and few worries when you go to bed at night.

Our love would be solace, companionship, and the mending of wounds.

Your tears do not wash away your sorrows. They feed someone else's joy. And that is why you must learn to swallow your own tears. - Amy Tan
