Quotes by Martin Limón  (?)

“In so many ways we were so different from the Koreans, and sometimes the GIs resented them a lot. But in a thousand small ways the Koreans were extremely generous and friendly. I imagined it was that way with all the people who had misunderstood each other over the centuries. Hatred in war and then friendship, and even love, when you had time to get to know them.”
Martin Limón, Jade Lady Burning
