The Olympics is the biggest competition for all athletes and an unforgettable event.

It would be so easy to let my fate just carry me away... following this same path my whole life through. But I know I can't. What I do, I do...with no regrets.

The more of you I see, the more I'm glad I'm me

I learned to practice smiling when I'm feeling sad, you know?

Even in the hardest circumstances, dreams can give you the courage to live, and I hope I can share that message with children in need.

The magic never worked! The only thing we’re left with is regret.

The people who should be here aren’t. The ones who should be smiling with me aren’t here.

I really hope that when I leave, my last trace will be beautiful.

For a long time, just skating in the Olympics had been my goal because not many Koreans had done it.

It is better to die in hope than live in despair.

I don’t want friends to die...or fade away. I don’t want battles where we have to lose in order to win.

That's the problem with best friends. Sometimes they know you better than you know yourself.

Flowers always make people better happier and more helpful they are sunshine food and medicine to the soul.

I'd like to think that "President Obama believed deeply in this democracy and the American people."

I miss my singing career very much.

The less you 'think' you know, the greater your ability to learn and grow.

faith isn't faith until it's all we have to hold on to and knowledge fails us. When we pray for faith, we automatically pray for darkness. Think about it.

Without the blessing of cowardice, the world would long since have been torn to bits.

Some pious men may find this truth unorthodox and bitter: But Nature, Chance, and Time ensure survival of the fitter!

The reason modern poetry is difficult is so that the poet's wife cannot understand it.
