"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)

"I don't know when I started to like you. From spring to summer. From summer to fall. And from fall to winter. Do you know when the season changes? Do you know exactly when winter ends and spring begins? I don't know when exactly my feelings for you started to grow." - Cha Eun-ho, Romance is a Bonus Book (ep 10)

"I don't dislike myself. I can't say I love myself dearly, but I think I'm alright. I have my flaws, of course. But I think I'm cute. [...] Well, I'm just trying to tell you that you should love yourself more. That will help you become more generous with yourself." - Kim Hye-ja, The Light in Your Eyes (ep 2)

"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

"Every woman likes that story. It's Cinderella. However, I'm too old to believe in such a fairy tale. The thought of being saved by a knight in shining armor is too far-fetched for me to believe. I'd rather write my own life's story." - Kang Dan-yi, Romance is a Bonus Book (ep 1)

"내 삶은 때론 휑했고 행복했습니다. 삶이 한낱 꿈에 불과하지만 그래도 살아서 좋았습니다. 새벽에 쨍한 차가운 공기, 꽃이 피기 전 부는 달큰한 바람, 해 질 무렵 우러나오는 노을의 냄새, 어느 한가지 눈부시지 않은 날이 없었습니다. 지금 삶이 힘든 당신, 이 세상에 태어난 이상 당신은 기 모든 걸 매일 누릴 자격이 있습니다. 후회만 가득한 과거와 불안하기만 한 미래 때문에 지금을 망치지 마세요. 오늘을 살아가세요. 눈이 부시게. 당신은 그럴 자격이 있습니다. 누군가의 엄마였고, 누이였고, 딸이었고, 그리고 나였을 그대들에게" - 김혜자, 눈이 부시게

Such a beautiful speech that I just want to share in its original language.

"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
