“To her, there was no touch as instantaneous and intuitive as the gaze. It was close to being the only way of touching without touch.
Language, by comparison, is an infinitely more physical way to touch. It moves lungs and throat and tongue and lips, it vibrates the air as it wings its way to the listener. The tongue grows dry, saliva spatters, the lips crack. When she found that physical process too much to bear, she became paradoxically more verbose.”
― Han Kang, Greek Lessons

“No lo puedo entender. Tú eres el que ha muerto, pero siento que todo me abandona. Tú eres el que ha muerto, pero son mis recuerdos los que sangran, se manchan, se oxidan y resquebrajan.”
― Han Kang, Greek Lessons

“Pronto llegará el día en que no podré distinguir mi reflejo en el espejo de todo lo demás. Todos los rostros que recuerdo se quedarán congelados en mi memoria.”
― Han Kang, Greek Lessons

“Other people are all witnesses. If no other people exists, shame would never be born in the world.”
