Quote by Han Kang

“كل لحظة هي قفزة للأمام من فوق جرف غير مرئي حيث تتجدد حواف الزمن باستمرار. نرفع أقدامنا من على الأرض الصلبة للحياة التي عشناها حتى الآن ونأخذ الخطوة التالية المحفوفة بالمخاطر نحو المجهول، نحو الهواء الفارغ. لا نفعل ذلك كي نثبت امتلاكنا لشجاعة من نوع خاص بل لأنه لا يوجد أمامنا طريق آخر.”

“The one stage in the process that you couldn't quite get your head around was the singing of the national anthem, which took place at a brief, informal memorial service for the bereaved families, after their dead had been formally placed in the coffins. It was also strange to see the Taegukgi, the national flag, being spread over each coffin and tied tightly in place. Why would you sing the national anthem for people who'd been killed by soldiers? Why cover the coffin with the Taegukgi? As though it wasn't the nation itself that had murdered them”

“Is it true that human beings are fundamentally cruel? Is the experience of cruelty the only thing we share as a species? Is the dignity that we cling to nothing but self-delusion, masking from ourselves the single truth: that each one of us is capable of being reduced to an insect, a ravening beast, a lump of meat? To be degraded, slaughtered - is this the essential of humankind, one which history has confirmed as inevitable?”
