“To find happiness, do what you enjoy. All of you should find something you enjoy doing, something that makes you excited. Instead of pursuing what is recognised and valued by society, do what you like. If you can find it, you’ll not waver easily, no matter what others think. Be brave.”
― Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

“When we die, we become nothing, the same nothing we were before we were born, but, of course, this time that nothingness is forever.”

“Write honestly. Write with effort. With honesty, and sincerity. Then whatever comes out of it will be properly written.”

“Instead of agonising over what you should do, think about putting effort into whatever you're doing. It's more important to try your best in whatever you do, no matter how small it may seem. All your effort will add up to something.”

“You might not notice right away, but everyone in the novel is taking small steps forward, whether it’s learning something new, or making a change to their lives. What they’re doing might be far from achieving what society deems as success, but they’re growing and changing through their consistent efforts – taking several steps away from where they started off. How others judge where they stand – be it high or low, good or bad – doesn’t matter to them. The fact that they’ve progressed, and are happy where they are, is sufficient. The yardstick to measure one’s life lies within oneself. And that’s good enough.”
― Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop
