Sohn Won-Pyung
“To borrow Granny’s description, a bookstore is a place densely populated with tens of thousands of authors, dead or living, residing side by side. But books are quiet. They remain dead silent until somebody flips open a page. Only then do they spill out their stories, calmly and thoroughly, just enough at a time for me to handle.”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

R.F. Kuang
“I need to create. It is a physical urge, a craving, like breathing, like eating; when it’s going well, it’s better than sex, and when it’s not, I can’t take pleasure in anything else.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

Sohn Won-Pyung
“Dora found beauty in everything. She found nature’s magnificent work and incredible symmetry in a turtle’s carapace, or a stork’s egg, or an autumn reed from a swamp. How wonderful, she would often say. I understood the meaning of the word, but I could never feel the splendor it carried.”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

Takehiko Inoue
“The strong are always kind.”
Takehiko Inoue, Vagabond, Volume 25

Sohn Won-Pyung
“Books took me to places I could never go otherwise. They shared the confessions of people I'd never met and lives I'd never witnessed. The emotions I could never feel, and the events I hadn't experienced could all be found in those volumes.”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond
