Christine’s Quotes

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

“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.”
― Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

“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

“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
