All Emotions Fate Growing Up Hate Mistakes Trivial Trivialities

Famous Gu Byeong-mo Quotes

“The relationship between fate and phenomenon is like chicken and egg. If you look at it from a slightly religious view, you could say that all people and objects are there for a reason. But Baker has a different idea. Things with no purpose or will, that happen to be in the same space begin to reach out to one another, and that's when meaning is created. The meaning spreads and in turn creates the order of the universe, or fate. But that's just his opinion. You have to make sense of things for yourself. He hears the universe, but he doesn't know about everything that goes on in it.”

“The voice of reason speaks in my head. Memories should be stuffed and preserved in a box. The box will gather dust and mould and moisture and be thrown out without a second glance someday. Fantasy is valuable only when it remains fantastical to the end. Returning to the place that once healed your wounds is not a way to move forward. You can't become an adult while holding on to the magic of your childhood.”

“Negative or positive, a powerful emotion should always be handled with care. The source of energy that ignites irrational behaviour generally has its roots in desire. As all religions have shown us from ancient times, powerful love with low boiling points often lead to aggression and violence.”

“If a person's emotions were lumps of dough, I would stretch my fondness for someone, if I ever fell in love, as long and thin as possible. As long and thin as a strand of noodle rolled out by a very capable pair of hands. Anger is the only thick, short burst of emotion I need in my life.”

“I wondered why a person's feelings couldn't dissolve like salt in hot water? For some, a can of tuna lasted longer than feelings. And then I realized that salt dissolved in hot water did not disappear. Without forcible separation, it remained in the solution for ever and ever.”

“Trivial things weren't so trivial when they piled up, not a corn on the sole of a foot or dust heaped on a forgotten shelf.”

“One can't always choose the right answer. Haven't you ever made the wrong choice? The wrong choice itself isn't the problem. You should take responsibility for the outcome of your actions. If you leave it to the invisible forces to clean up after you, the consequences of it will become even harder to control.”

“Whatever you've done to me so far, I'll think of it as the price I have to pay for my decision. It's too late to turn things back now. You can have this space all to yourselves. You can dream of a happy future here. I won't hold it against you for not including me in the picture. I don't think the animosity will get me anywhere anyway. But promise me on thing: leave me alone from now on.”
