"My life was blighted by misfortunes at times, but there were also happy moments. They say that life is nothing but a mere dream, but I was still grateful for my life. The cold, brisk air at dawn, the sweet breeze before flowers start to bloom, and the scent of sunset that fills the air at sundown. Every single day was dazzlingly beautiful. Even if you're struggling right now, everyone alive has the right to enjoy this every day. Even if one ordinary day is followed by another ordinary day, life is still worth living. Don't waste the present regretting the past and worrying about the future. Live this day beautifully. You deserve it. To all of you who were a mom, a sister, a daughter, and yourself." - Kim Hye-ja, The Light in Your Eyes (ep 12)

"I don't believe that a single book is capable of changing the world. However, I still would like to tell you to become someone who's like a book. A book may not be able to change the world, but I'm sure it can still leave something warm inside someone's heart. Just like how you hid between the sentences in a book when you were lost. Just like how I met a book named Eun-ho and was offered a very warm consolation in the last moments of my life, I want you to become a book that can console others like you did to me." - Kang Byeong Jun, Romance is a Bonus Book (ep 16)

"Life is a game between you and the learners that surround you. You can refuse to play, but then you'll have to live a twentieth-century life in the twenty-first. Or you can play to win. What model do you want the computer to have? And what data can you give it that will produce that model? Those two questions should always be in the back of your mind whenever you interact with a learning algorithm - as they are when you interact with other people." - pg 264 ln 16

"All children keep secrets. All parents do the same. We mold the version we want others to believe, boosting the disguise and tucking away the truth. It is how we can be loved by our closest family members and still, at times, elude them." - pg 120 line 1
