Stick Quotes - page 36

All my life I have tried to do too many different things. I wonder if this is not a perpetual dilemma for women. A man enters on a job or profession, needs to stick to it to earn his living, and is unlikely to have to change it on marriage.

We Anglophones tend to use the words nation and state more or less interchangeably, but when one nation is divided into two states, it's important to stick to the Koreans' own practice of distinguishing clearly between nationalism (minjokjuŭi) and patriotism / state spirit (aeguksim, kukka chŏngsin, kukkajuŭi, etc). Historians do this even in English when discussing the Weimar Republic, where nationalism undermined support for the state - and for liberal democracy - just as it does in South Korea today.
