Skinship Quotes

“In Korean, that word is jeong. It is one of the most meaningful word in my language. It is even more meaningful than sarang, which is the “love,” because jeong is not a duty. It is that feeling of the glad heart when you see someone.”

“In Korean, that word is jeong. It is one of the most meaningful word in my language. It is even more meaningful than sarang, which is the “love,” because jeong is not a duty. It is that feeling of the glad heart when you see someone. The way how he looks, how he talks, how he smells. Every little thing what he likes and doesn’t like. Even the bad habit. That feeling is jeong.”

“I’m not sure if Minji is referring to herself or to Charis. Yeah, no. I don’t ask her. But secretly, I pity her. She has lived out my mother’s worst fear: She has not had children. She has remained self-sufficient. She is alone. Even though my children have not brought me happiness in the ways that I expected, they have taught me all I know about the meaning of life. That is, I never question that their lives are meaningful. Not ever. That they should exist and thrive and inherit the earth, forever and ever, amen.”
