J.R.R. Tolkien
“Never laugh at live dragons.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

R.F. Kuang
“It's like pressing a bleeding sore repeatedly, trying to see how far you can go with your tolerance for pain, because if you know the limits of it, you gain some sense of control over it.”
R.F. Kuang , Yellowface

“Social media is such a tiny, insular space. Once you close your screen, no one gives a fuck.”
Rebecca F. Kuang, Yellowface

R.F. Kuang
“A writer needs to be read. I want to move people's hearts. I want my books in stores all over the world. I couldn't stand to be like Mom or Rory, living their little and self-contained lives with no great projects or prospects to propel them from one chapter to the next. I want the world to wait with bated breath for what I will say next. I want my words to last forever. I want to be eternal, permanent; when I'm gone, I want to leave behind a mountain of pages that scream, Juniper Song was here, and she told us what was on her mind.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

“He was no poet. He despised high-flown sentiment, always had. One of the main aims of poetry, as far as he could see, and his classical education had confirmed as much, was to persuade women into your bed who otherwise might not agree to go there, and make everyone think you were a devil of a fine fellow, rather than a hopeless libertine, while you were doing it. A clever trick, or a cheap one, he was not quite sure. Both, perhaps.”
Emma Orchard, A Duke of One's Own
