The Lost Life of Sylvia Song Quotes

“When the only boy you’ve ever loved is dead, it’s a little hard to care what the poets think.”
― Ann Liang, The Lost Life of Sylvia Song

“You cannot be two people at once. You cannot be in two worlds at the same time. You cannot kiss your beautiful boyfriend good morning and then sit down for dinner with your family that night. You cannot have two first languages, there must be an order to these things, so what came first for you? What comes first for you? When you dream, do you dream in English or in Mandarin? Do you wish for people to call you Siwen, or Sylvia? You have a choice, and that is the best and worst part of it.

Now, choose.”
― Ann Liang, The Lost Life of Sylvia Song

“I'm glad you found me. I would hope... no matter what, I would have wanted it to be you who found me.”
― Ann Liang, The Lost Life of Sylvia Song
