Memorable Quotes from Maggie Cheung
9 quotesThe Complexity of Time and Memory
Su Li-zhen
I always thought one minute flies by. But sometimes it really lingers on. Once, a person pointed at his watch and said to me, that because of that minute, he'd always remember me. It was so charming listening to that. But now I look at my watch and tell myself that I have to forget this man starting this very minute.

Reflections on Marriage and Individuality
Chow Mo-wan
I sometimes wonder what I'd be if I hadn't married. Have you ever thought of that?
Su Li-zhen
Maybe happier! I didn't know married life would be so complicated! When you're single, you are only responsible to yourself. Once you're married, doing well on your own is not enough.

A Conversation About Elegance and Kindness
Chow Mo-wan
That handbag I saw you with this evening... Where did you buy it?
Su Li-zhen
Why do you ask?
Chow Mo-wan
It looked so elegant. I want to get one for my wife.
Su Li-zhen
Mr. Chow, you're so good to your wife!
Chow Mo-wan
Not really! My wife is so fussy. Her birthday is some days away. I don't know what to get her. Could you buy one for me to give her?
Su Li-zhen
Maybe she wouldn't want one just exactly the same.
Chow Mo-wan
You're right, I didn't think of that.
Su Li-zhen
A woman would mind.
Chow Mo-wan
Yes, especially since we're neighbors. Do they come in other colors?
Su Li-zhen
I'd have to ask my husband.
Chow Mo-wan
Why?
Su Li-zhen
He bought it for me on a business trip abroad. They aren't on sale here.
Chow Mo-wan
Then never mind.
Su Li-zhen
Actually... I want to ask you something too. Where did you buy your tie?
Chow Mo-wan
I don't know where it came from. My wife buys all my ties.
Su Li-zhen
Really?
Chow Mo-wan
She bought this one on a business trip abroad. It's not on sale here.
Su Li-zhen
What a coincidence!
Chow Mo-wan
Yes.
Su Li-zhen
Actually... My husband has one just like it. He said it was a gift from his boss. So he wears it every day.
Chow Mo-wan
And my wife has a bag just like yours.
Su Li-zhen
I know, I've seen it.
Chow Mo-wan
What are you getting at, actually?
Su Li-zhen
I thought I was the only one who knew.
