Quotes by Eiji Yoshikawa

“...you're going to find people from all over the country, everyone hungry for money and position. You won't make a name for yourself just doing what the next man does. You'll have to distinguish yourself in some way.”
― Eiji Yoshikawa, Musashi

“Keberanian sejati mengenal rasa takut
Dia tahu bagaimana takut kepada apa yang harus ditakuti
Orang-orang yang tulus menghargai hidup dengan penuh kecintaan
Mereka mendekapnya sebagai permata yang berharga
Dan mereka memilih waktu serta tempat yang tepat untuk menyerahkannya
Mati dengan penuh kemuliaan”
― Eiji Yoshikawa, Musashi

“bukan sekadar membaca, tetapi mempertemukan antara satu buku dengan yang lain, mempertemukan mereka dengan realitas lalu menemukan sintesis dan membuat tulisan kita sendiri.”
