Quotes by You-Jeong Jeong (?)

“There are some people you just can’t love. Even when they smile, they make you want to pull on either side of that smile and rip their mouth off.”
― You-jeong Jeong, The Good Son

“Mother knew exactly how to get under my skin, what to take away from me in order to get me to submit. The guilt coming from one part of her heart would have been offset by confessing in her journal just how painful it was to bully me. I turned the page.”
― You-Jeong Jeong, The Good Son

“Every organism learns from the moment of its birth how to survive and how to wait, learning how to eat and how to forge on until it can eat again. But modern-day humans don't learn how to be hungry. We eat all kinds of things without regard to time and place, indulging ourselves in restaurants and never learning to delay gratification. This obsession over consuming food isn't any different from psychopath porn. From that perspective, it seemed that humans were the most impatient about their desires out of all living beings on earth.”
― You-Jeong Jeong, The Good Son
