The Court Dancer Quotes

“to some, love is war”
― Kyung-Sook Shin, The Court Dancer

“Victor, who had woken at dawn and come out on the deck in search of her, found Jin dancing as if she were possessed by the spirit of the ocean. The longer one wants to stay together with someone, the less they should try to change them. Even if he hadn't been Victor, or precisely because he was, he did not call out to the dancer lost in movement beside the moonlit waves. Dewy beads of sweat covered her despite the cold and violent ocean winds. An intense heat enveloped her face, neck, chest, hips, and legs. A weight lifted from her heart and she was no longer afraid of the ocean. She became as light as the waves, the wind, and the moonlight. She became a butterfly.”
― Shin Kyung-Sook, The Court Dancer

“Se, että on jokin paikka johon haluaa mennä yhdessä toisen kanssa, tarkoittaa, että on rakastanut.”

“Una delle gioie della vita è condividere il proprio piatto preferito con la persona a cui si è affezionati.”
― Shin Kyung-sook, The Court Dancer
