10 inspirational chang-rae lee quotes on success
- There is secrecy and betrayal but that’s more part and parcel of the kind of anguish that the people go through. And maybe that’s modes of survival, rather than modes of consciousness.
- I want the flashbacks to feel that once you’re there they have their own unity, their own kind of atmospheric sensibility; I want the reader to be transported. The novel is a big, complicated, unknowable thing before it’s written.

- It is ‘where we are’ that should make all the difference, whether we believe we belong there or not.
- To be honest, Im not that much of a reader of Korean fiction, since so little is translated.

10 inspirational dietrich bonhoeffer quotes on success

- Your life as a Christian should make nonbelievers question their disbelief in God.
