“You say, let's plant some seeds and live a simple life, but why do you want to do that? It's because you're anxious to see the flowers, isn't it? (O 1989: 250)”
O Chŏnghŭi
“Who indeed were these people called the dead? she asked herself. They were people who had lived in the same era and experienced the same events as she. People she hadn't known, whom she had brushed past indifferently on a street corner, whose eyes had lightly touched hers. They were people who had risen in the morning and fallen asleep at night, people with whom she had experienced sunlight, wind, snow and rain. She had born at a certain moment in their lifetimes, and at a certain moment in hers they had humbly departed. How awfully fortuitous to have shared the same era with them; yet she hadn't had the slightest premonition or indication of their deaths. (O 1989: 251)”
O Chŏnghŭi
“Could it be found, a single word for today and yesterday, with their jumble of indistinguishable, all too complicated colors, a word to embrace all the tomorrows? (O 1989: 229)”
O Chŏnghŭi
