Quote by Helmut Jahn

You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction.

You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty.

Summary

This quote highlights a perception of cultural differences in expectations surrounding beauty and social interactions in China. The speaker suggests that in Chinese culture, beauty might be valued differently from their own understanding. The mention of a "farce" in presentation implies that what may appear beautiful to the speaker isn't necessarily authentic. Furthermore, the lack of interaction during a room filled with people suggests a difference in social norms, where minimal communication is expected or appreciated. The quote overall hints at the speaker's unfamiliarity and possible frustration with the Chinese cultural context.

I'd like to work with Justin Bieber. He's talented and he's so young. I know what he's going through. I've lived what he's living through right now. Working with him would complete a circle of sorts for me. And he might find it a worthwhile experience himself.

You can't just make yourself matter and then die, Alaska, because now I am irretrievably different, and I'm sorry I let you go, yes, but you made the choice. You left me Perhapsless, stuck in your goddamned labyrinth. And now I don't even know if you chose the straight and fast way out, if you left me like this on purpose. And so I never knew you, did I? I can't remember, because I never knew.
