1 " In town, during the week, I pocketed my emotions—silent and screaming anguish in all shades of red—Father’s way. But on these trips out of town, the neung-jae grasses that skimmed my body ripped holes in my pockets and emptied all the red I had saved. "

2 " As boys grow to men, they keep score on their fathers. In one column goes the wins—the times he protected his family, provided for them so they did not know hunger, taught his children how to navigate the world. In the other column are his sins. Sometimes, these losses weigh heavily. "
3 " Happiness is found in simplicity and commonness. Or maybe happiness descends from the sky like it did that hot August day. More than seven decades on, I suspect happiness is the capacity to stay human. I still don’t know for sure. "
