The Hive and the Honey Quotes

“We have this life, and then we become something else. Wouldn't you agree? You have had this life but soon, tomorrow, you will become someone else, with someone else. You mustn't be afraid of change like that. You must embrace it and be stronger for it.”
― Paul Yoon, The Hive and the Honey: Stories

“Harry wasn't a superstitious man, or for that matter a spiritual one, but with them gone, he believed in grief, in profound, dumbstruck grief. That slow, heavy, animal feeling was like a coat he could never take off. It altered the day's colors, the sounds. Every moment reminded him of his father. A woman cradling a plant in a pot. A voice from the street corner. Some news reports about North Korea.”
