“Everyone’s too self-centered and ego-driven. And lazy. God, are we lazy as a society. It’s disgusting really. We’re fed information, we don’t question it, and we allow it to shape our thoughts, our wants, our desires . . . our life decisions. And then we wonder why we’re so fucking miserable all the time.”
― Minka Kent, The Memory Watcher

“Yells and howls, threaded together layer upon layer, are enmeshed to form that lump. Because of meat. I ate too much meat. The lives of the animals I ate have all lodged there. Blood and flesh, all those butchered bodies are scattered in every nook and cranny, and though the physical remnants were excreted, their lives still stick stubbornly to my insides.”
― Han Kang, The Vegetarian

“No one is clean. Living makes you dirty.”
― Min Jin Lee, Pachinko
