“Pokušala sam potisnuti sve osjećaje iz djetinjstva, koji su se najednom ustalasali u meni. Taj strogi glas! Nije imalo nikakvog smisla da ostanem. Podsjetila sam se da joj je rođendan, ali ni rođendan nije bio dovoljan da sruši zidine podignute našim prošlostima. Za to će trebati mnogo više vremena nego što imamo.”
― Ji-young Gong, Naše sretno vrijeme

“Al escucharla pidiéndome disculpas, mi corazón se turbó. No había ninguna razón por la que ella tuviera que disculparse. Era yo la que debía pedirle perdón. Lo que de verdad sentía era no haber madurado más a mis treinta años. Pero no sabía cómo expresar esas disculpas. Salvo teñidas de sarcasmo, nunca se me había dado bien decir palabras como lo siento, gracias y te quiero. No he sabido decirlas cuando de verdad necesitaba usarlas y no existen palabras alternativas que las sustituyan.”
― Gong Jiyoung, Our Happy Time

“Durante mucho tiempo después me estuve preguntando si realmente había querido a mi hermano. No lo sé. Más que ninguna otra cosa deseaba que Eunsu fuera feliz.

“Al igual que la lluvia invernal solo es visible a través de los faros, en el mundo había muchas cosas invisibles en la oscuridad. Esa fue una de las cosas que aprendí cuando le conocí. Por mucho que algo sea invisible, no quiere decir que no exista. Gracias a él, me abrí paso a través de mi propia oscuridad y descubrí que esa misma oscuridad era la que alentaba en mi interior como si fuera la muerte.”

“He liked singing. Since he was blind and never got to go to school, the only song he knew was the national anthem. That's because we used to sing it during the morning assembly at the orphanage. So we sang the anthem. Until the East Sea runs dry and Mt. Baekdu wears away, God save us and keep our nation... Eunsu could remember all four verses. I remember how, on that cold night, the stars floated in the sky like cold popcorn as we raised our faces to the sky and sang the anthem. When we finished, Eunsu laughed and thought aloud, It's a great country, isn't it? Whenever I sing this song, I feel like we're good people.”
― Gong Jiyoung, Our Happy Time

“When I saw it, I was reminded of a passage by my favorite writer, Jang Jeongil: “We must kill the prodigal son. He brings worse things with him. Nothing makes us feel quite so small as the son who has returned. The true prodigal son must go, with nary a drop of water nor a crumb of bread, without even a camel, he must go to the ends of the desert and die there. And not just there, but everywhere!”
