What makes you think I ever got married? Married women work themselves to death, all their money goes to husbands who gamble it away. Why would I ever do that to myself? ~ Kim Van Alkemade
Mrs Hong quotes by Kim Van Alkemade
My first break was in a Hong Kong movie that I shot in China - I was going out there and working as a western stunt man, if you like, but at the same time in England I was working in daytime soap stuff. Eventually I put the two together. ~ Scott Adkins
Mrs Hong quotes by Scott Adkins
In 1865, Scotsman Thomas Sutherland started the Hongkong Shanghai Banking Company (later HSBC). A senior Chinese government official had issued a warrant for future HSBC board member Thomas Dent in 1839, to close his opium warehouses. This helped spark the first Opium War. France's Le Monde Diplomatique said that "HSBC's first wealth came from opium from India, and later Yunan in China." Yunan is in the Golden Triangle area. The first Opium War forced China to cede Shanghai to Western powers, transforming it from a fishing village to China's largest, most modern city with a network of opium smoking dens. Prof. Alfred McCoy would eventually call Hong Kong "Asia's heroin laboratory," and HSBC would become the world's second largest bank. ~ John L. Potash
Mrs Hong quotes by John L. Potash
Make complex things simple; take simple things seriously. ~ Master Jun Hong Lu
Mrs Hong quotes by Master Jun Hong Lu
The villagers were speeding up the circling of events because she was too shortsighted to see that her infidelity had already harmed the village, the waves of consequences would return unpredictably, sometimes in disguise, as now, to hurt her. This roundness had to be made coin-sized so that she would see is circumference: punish her at the birth of her baby. Awaken her to the inexorable. People who refused fatalism because they could invent small resources insisted on culpability. Deny accidents and wrest fault from the stars. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Mrs Hong quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
When I went to Hong Kong, I knew at once I wanted to write a story set there. ~ Paul Theroux
Mrs Hong quotes by Paul Theroux
Affluence isn't affluence at all. Hong Kong is the benchmark; everybody else's affluence is mere tat. Until you've experienced that perfume-washed air as polarized glass doors embrace you into a luxury hotel's plush interior, you've only had a dud replica of the real thing. ~ Jonathan Gash
Mrs Hong quotes by Jonathan Gash
Everything by nature is temporary. What we posses today may not last forever, and what we gain today may not always be ours. ~ Master Jun Hong Lu
Mrs Hong quotes by Master Jun Hong Lu
pull a string, a puppet moves ...

each man must realize
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand --
and any given cause,
no matter how unrelated:
the death of a boy in Hong Kong
or a blizzard in Omaha ...
can serve as your undoing.
all your chinaware crashing to the
kitchen floor, your girl will enter
and you'll be standing, drunk,
in the center of it and she'll ask:
my god, what's the matter?
and you'll answer: I don't know,
I don't know ... ~ Charles Bukowski
Mrs Hong quotes by Charles Bukowski
If overpopulation or lack of resources created poverty, then Hong Kong should be poor. Hong Kong has 20 times as many people per square mile as India, and no valuable natural resources. Yet Hong Kong is rich; the average income there is higher than in Great Britain or Canada. This is a recent development. In the 1920s, Hong Kong was as poor as India. But in a relatively short time it became rich because of one key ingredient: economic freedom. ~ John Stossel
Mrs Hong quotes by John Stossel
Ten years before Matrix, ten years before Crouching Tiger - I wanted to do a Hong Kong action movie. ~ Robert Mark Kamen
Mrs Hong quotes by Robert Mark Kamen
A clear sunny day can suddenly shift to thunder and lightning, a raging storm can suddenly give way to a bright moonlit night. The weather may be inconstant, but the sky remains the same. The substance of the human mind should also be like this. ~ Zicheng Hong
Mrs Hong quotes by Zicheng Hong
When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family. ~ Jet Li
Mrs Hong quotes by Jet Li
Everyone has, at one time or another, experienced trauma related to family, children or business. This, in fact, represents a kind of maturity. Every trauma that you have experienced reminds you that nothing in this world is perfect or permanent. ~ Master Jun Hong Lu
Mrs Hong quotes by Master Jun Hong Lu
If a poor house is well kept, or a poor girl well groomed, there is elegance if not beauty. If good people should come upon hard times, why should they immediately give up on themselves? ~ Zicheng Hong
Mrs Hong quotes by Zicheng Hong
The most important thing to keep in mind is the incredible diversity of talent that's out there - there are so many great actors from all over Asia, from Singapore and Hong Kong to the Philippines and Mainland China, not to mention many great Asian-American actors who are eager for fun and challenging roles. ~ Kevin Kwan
Mrs Hong quotes by Kevin Kwan
Nature, God, Buddha - someone has given me this health. I can break dance still; I can run; I can play basketball. In my mind, I can do anything. As long as I have that spirit, I'm going to keep doing it. ~ James Hong
Mrs Hong quotes by James Hong
When water isn't rippled, it is naturally still. When a mirror isn't clouded, it is clear of itself. So the mind is not to be cleared; get rid of what muddles it, and its clarity will spontaneously appear. Pleasure need not be sought; get rid of what pains you, and pleasure is naturally there. ~ Zicheng Hong
Mrs Hong quotes by Zicheng Hong
When the kids see how amazing one seed turning in to beautiful flower and transformation to a juicy red strawberries then We are saving our future, it is not a product anymore that they used to grab in the supermarket but it is magic of life and with urban farming we doing this. @ K11 ~ Baris Gencel
Mrs Hong quotes by Baris Gencel
Learn to understand others. Most people do not want to understand others, instead wanting others to understand them. This is egotism. We should try to think less of ourselves and more of others. Try to understand others better. ~ Master Jun Hong Lu
Mrs Hong quotes by Master Jun Hong Lu
What does old look like? Sometimes I am wrinkled, sometimes not. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Mrs Hong quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
It may be the way the cookie crumbles on Madison Avenue, but in Hong Kong its the way the egg rolls. ~ Robert Orben
Mrs Hong quotes by Robert Orben
There's a McDonalds in Hong Kong & they're offering couples the opportunity to get married. You can have a McWedding. ~ Chelsea Handler
Mrs Hong quotes by Chelsea Handler
I think I first got into acting through church. I would go to these church retreats, and they would tell us to make a skit or make a video and present it to the rest of the group. And I started doing that. And I fell in love with it. ~ Ki Hong Lee
Mrs Hong quotes by Ki Hong Lee
And I managed to arrange to get some research support and to stay in Hong Kong for another year and a half, interviewing people coming out of China, both Westerners and Chinese. And that was my first real research study on thought reform or so-called brainwashing. ~ Robert Jay Lifton
Mrs Hong quotes by Robert Jay Lifton
Making money, it seems, is all about the velocity of moving it around, so that it can exist in Hong Kong one moment and Wall Street a split second later. ~ Richard Dooling
Mrs Hong quotes by Richard Dooling
I've been writing since I was 7, but before that, I was orally making stories. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Mrs Hong quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
Hong Kong has plenty of superlative hotels, amazing food, and cool shopping. ~ Hanya Yanagihara
Mrs Hong quotes by Hanya Yanagihara
I hope Hong Kong and Asia wants to hire American Asian actresses as much as Hollywood has been hiring Chinese actors from Asia. ~ Ming-Na Wen
Mrs Hong quotes by Ming-Na Wen
I put together an iPhone app called TrimIt and released that in July 2011. About a month later, the private fund of the Hong Kong billionaire Li-Kashing cold emailed me and expressed an interest to invest, but they didn't realize I was 15. They thought it was a U.K. company with a team. ~ Nick D'Aloisio
Mrs Hong quotes by Nick D'Aloisio
When you're shooting that fast end to end, you wake up in a hotel and you don't know where you are. You're dreaming of Singapore, you wake up in Hong Kong. Or you just lose track. [It's] one of the reasons I'm staying in hotels that I know I've stayed in before, and they don't look like other hotels. ~ Anthony Bourdain
Mrs Hong quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Places come to exist in our imaginations because of stories, and so do we. When we reach for a "sense of place," we posit an intimate relationship to a set of stories connected to a particular location, such as Hong Kong or the Grand Canyon or the bed where we were born, thinking of histories and the evolution of personalities in a local context. Having "a sense of self" means possessing a set of stories about who we are and with whom and why. ~ William Kittredge
Mrs Hong quotes by William Kittredge
'Hard Boiled' is my last film in Hong Kong, before I moved to the U.S. It is the one film which is most accepted by the audience in the West. ~ John Woo
Mrs Hong quotes by John Woo
He puffed out his pigeon chest and waddled across the room towards me. With his feet pointing outwards, he looked like a fat duck with a grievance. ~ Chris Thrall
Mrs Hong quotes by Chris Thrall
I have had many opportunities to flee HK, but I would rather stay and fight the United States government in the courts, because I have faith in Hong Kong's rule of law. ~ Edward Snowden
Mrs Hong quotes by Edward Snowden
You will miss out on some near soul mates. This goes for friendships, too. There will be unforgettable people with whom you have shared an excellent evening or a few days. Now they live in Hong Kong, and you will never see them again. That's just how life is. ~ Pamela Druckerman
Mrs Hong quotes by Pamela Druckerman
I'm Anna May Wong. I come from old Hong Kong. But now I'm a Hollywood star. ~ Anna May Wong
Mrs Hong quotes by Anna May Wong
If you do not join the polluted, then you are pure; if you reject society in search of purity, that is not purity but fanaticism. ~ Zicheng Hong
Mrs Hong quotes by Zicheng Hong
Christianity is stigmatized by the myriad of child abuse scandals; Islam is hijacked by fanatics and given a bad name. Buddhism is all about the good teaching of peace, respect and nonviolence, and Hinduism is all about finding faith, respect and belief in everything as they strongly believe that God is omnipresent and lives in everything, and other religions have their own faith, belief and way of reaching the almighty one. No religion is good or bad; it is the man who makes it bad. Paganism is a path to nowhere; but the subject of religion is a can of worms that is better left uncorked. Agnosticism might get their chance, and for the sake of equality and fairness, let the monotheist speak out.'"

My No.7 book is coming....! ~ Tim I. Gurung
Mrs Hong quotes by Tim I. Gurung
You can leave Hong Kong, but it will never leave you. ~ Nury Vittachi
Mrs Hong quotes by Nury Vittachi
Where the Mystery is present, joy is infinite; where the Mystery has departed, efficacy is exhausted and the spirit disappears. ~ Ge Hong
