Roshani Chokshi
“change is the great blessing of mortals. Creatures of the Otherworld are always bound by something—moonlight, iron, running water. But the only thing that can act on humans is time. We are not lovely and static. We are ever-changing, vast as seasons. We are meant to change.”
Roshani Chokshi, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride

Hwang Bo-Reum
“When we feel like crying, we should let it all out. Forcing them back only makes the wounds heal slower.”
Hwang Bo-Reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

Hwang Bo-Reum
“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

Peter  Swanson
“when she was a seven-year-old she had declared rain to be the best weather because it was reading weather.”
Peter Swanson, A Talent for Murder

Hwang Bo-Reum
“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
