Notes of a Crocodile

by Qiu Miaojin

I knew I was capable of the monstrous sin of lusting after a woman’s body.

Because love goes hand in hand with hatred, and because there’s hatred, you’re going to fight, and when you fight, you see that there’s love.

Hobbies: Knitting with wool yarn.

‘Only healthy people are capable of being in love. Using love to treat an illness just makes the illness even worse.’

A true orgasm is like being at one with the cosmos.”
