Essay Writer’s Picks

One-Liner Quotes Essay Writer’s Picks 2021.09.06 Among the many Korean authors, my favorite author that is close to my heart is Park Wan-Suh. She lived up to her will of “I would be happy to die an author.” And following her dream, I also hope to live as an author until the last moment of my life. Her words, “Waste your youth as much as you wish, for it is the only thing acceptable to be wasted.” are etched in my heart. I interpreted the quote to mean that wasting youth is like taking on challenges that may seem unachievable. It helped me live through the days in my 20s. Out of all the good novels and essays she has left, I would like to introduce Even If the Truth is Worth a Grain of Sand, an essay written by a person who loved beautiful things - beautiful for being humble, sincere, and simple.“There’s one day when everyone seems to be kinder than me. That day was th...
