Quotes by Gina Chung (?)

“Pain isn't always bad, she said. It's there because it wants to tell us something.”

“If all you every do is go after the things you want, you'll never know what it is you need, he'd said, and she'd wondered if she should just eat him up right then and there for saying something so stupid.”
― Gina Chung, Green Frog: Stories

“It still got cold during the winters then, sometimes. Umma and Apa had argued about paying for parking. By the time we had wormed our way into the crowds around the rink, our breath like clouds in the late fall air, they were angry with each other, but their bickering had ceased during that electric moment when the tree was lit up, its branches filled with thousands and thousands of multicolored stars. Afterward, we got big bowls of hot oxtail soup in Koreatown to warm ourselves up, and on the drive back home, I fell asleep in the back seat to the sound of their voices, soft and amicable again.”
― Gina Chung, Sea Change
