Yeonmi Park
“I inhaled books like other people breathe oxygen. I didn't just read for knowledge or pleasure, I read to live.”
Yeonmi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

Yeonmi Park
“In the free world, children dream about what they want to be when they grow up and how they can use their talents. When I was four and five years old, my only adult ambition was to buy as much bread as I liked and eat all of it.”
Yeonmi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

Yeonmi Park
“I was beginning to realize that all the food in the world, and all the running shoes, could not make me happy. The material things were worthless. I had lost my family. I wasn’t loved, I wasn’t free, and I wasn’t safe. I was alive, but everything that made life worth living was gone.”
Yeonmi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

Yeonmi Park
“We all have our own deserts. They may not be the same as my desert, but we all have to cross them to find a purpose in life and be free.”
Yeonmi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

Yeonmi Park
“when you have more words to describe the world, you increase your ability to think complex thoughts.”
Yeonmi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom
