Myun Haing Kim
“Happiness is found in simplicity and commonness. Or maybe happiness descends from the sky like it did that hot August day. More than seven decades on, I suspect happiness is the capacity to stay human. I still don’t know for sure.”
Myun Haing Kim

Don DeLillo
“Too young for Korea, too old for Vietnam.”
Don DeLillo
