Before coming to Korea, you must understand one thing: here, tomatoes are fruits not just biologically, but also culturally.

It’s never too early to introduce the joys of reading.

Better a society in which people show off with their clothes than with their cars, and better a society in which people show off with their cars than with their houses.

I see more Snoopy products per month in Korea than I did per decade in the U.S. A docent at the Schulz Museum in California once told me her theory that Peanuts is big in Asia because the people there are as high-contrast in appearance as the strip’s black-and-white characters.

Anyone can get attention for saying something controversial; it’s only an elite who can get attention for saying something banal.

Intriguing that a hagwon teaching English and math should have a Latin name (though, given the religious provenance of the phrase, it’s not all that surprising).
