Jung Chang on Wild Swans
Monday 7th May 2012
Quote of the day: “As I listened to my mother, I was overwhelmed by her longing to be understood by me. It also struck me that she would really love me to write. She seemed to know that writing was where my heart lay, and was encouraging me to fulfill my dreams. She did this not through making demands, which she never did, but by providing me with stories — and showing me how to face the past.” (Jung Chang’s The Art of the Memoir)
