Amber

“White hair.
She remembers one of her bosses, a middle-aged man who used to say how he longed to see a former lover again in old age, when her hair would be feather-white. When we’re really old... when every single strand of our hair has gone white, I want to see her then, absolutely.
If there was a time when he would want to see her again, it would certainly be then.
When both young and flesh would have fallen away.
When there would be no time left for desire.
When only one thing would remain to be done once that meeting was over: to separate. To part from their own bodies, and thus to part forever.”
― Han Kang, The White Book

“After you died I could not hold a funeral,
And so my life became a funeral.”
― Han Kang, Human Acts

“Soundlessly, and without fuss, some tender thing deep inside me broke. Something that, until then, I hadn't even realized was there.”
― Han Kang, Human Acts
