Hye-Young Pyun
“What he’d really returned to was this noisy, crowded, queuing, waiting, leering world. The world where, as his doctor explained, the only way to survive was through sheer force of will.”
Hye-Young Pyun, The Hole

Steven Pinker
“Though the 20th century saw horrific genocides inspired by Nazi pseudoscience about genetics and race, it also saw horrific genocides inspired by Marxist pseudoscience about the malleability of human nature. The real threat to humanity comes from totalizing ideologies and the denial of human rights, rather than a curiosity about nature and nurture.”
Steven Pinker

Hye-Young Pyun
“Though it wasn’t a very nice method, whenever he felt like he didn’t understand his wife’s family, he simply told himself he was dealing with foreigners.”
Hye-Young Pyun, The Hole

Virginia Woolf
“Indeed, it is the soul [itself ] that is the chief character in Russian fiction.”
Virginia Woolf

“The language of women accustomed to violence was silence and lies.”
Jung-Myung Lee, Broken Summer
