Quotations from the book

A Beautiful Poison

Lydia Kang

A funeral reminds you to be alive, doesn't it? It slaps you across the face and points out that there's still warm blood doing a jig in your veins.

—Lydia Kang in A Beautiful Poison

Somewhere in the world at that moment, there was a birth, a death, a sunrise, and a sunset. There was despair, and a burst of laughter, a promise broken, and a vow made.
And there was this kiss.

—Lydia Kang in A Beautiful Poison

She had the sort of beauty that left you bleeding internally after gazing for too long.
