Quotes by Yi Sang (?)

“Rather than working and becoming a socially responsible person, rather than listening to my wife's lectures, I wanted to be as idle as the idlest animal on earth. I wanted to cast off as much as possible the meaningless mask of humanity.
I was shy of human society. I was shy of life. Everything was strange and unfamiliar to me.”
― Yi Sang, The Wings

“My face becomes a strip of skin before your face in moonlight my words of praise for you are left unsaid but like a sigh they tickle open a sliding paper door and creep into your hair smelling like camellia fields and transplant seedlings of my sorrow”
