1 " Have you ever hurt your heart wanting, wanting for years,asking why what happenedhappened, hoping beyond the last desire to feel hope— "
― Suji Kwock Kim , Notes from the Divided Country: Poems
2 " Poor fool, you are divided at the heart,Lost in its maze of chambers, blood, and love,A heart that will one day beat you to death.— Suji Kwock Kim, from “Monologue For an Onion,” Notes from the Divided Country. (LSU Press; First Edition edition April 1, 2003) "
3 " You must not grieve that the world is glimpsedThrough veils. How else can it be seen?How will you rip away the veil of the eye, the veilThat you are, you who want to grasp the heartOf things, hungry to know where meaning Lies.-- excerpt from "Monologue for an Onion "
