Quotes by Paul Yoon  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He thought of these yers as another life within the one he had. As though it were a thing he was able to carry. A small box. A handkerchief. A stone. He did not understand how a life could vanish. How that was even possible. How it could close in an instant before you even reach inside one last time, touch someone's hand one last time. How there would come a day when no one would wonder about the life he had before this one.”
Paul Yoon, Snow Hunters

“It was as though someone, somewhere, were dreaming this and he had crossed into it without permission. Everything both familiar and foreign.”
Paul Yoon, Snow Hunters

“This momentary bridge. The wonder of a shared memory, returned. Of a place once theirs and a life that had already been lived.”
Paul Yoon, Snow Hunters
