"[A woman's] education should be as varied and perfect as possible. If for no other reason to enable her properly to educate and rear her own children. Whatever grand truths are planted in the mother's mind may take root in the next generation, and there grow, blossom, and shed their perfume on the world. The child receives the mother's very thought by intuition. If the mother's mind is weak and narrow in its range, the child is affected by this fact long before it finds meaning in the mother's words. But if the mother's mind is cultured and refined by study until her thoughts are grand and far-reaching, the child's soul will grow and expand under the mesmeric influence of these thoughts, as the plant grows under the influence of the sun."
— Karen Andreola

"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."

"aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana;

dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada"

"The day will come
When my body no longer exists
But in the lines of this poem
I will never let you be alone

The day will come
When my voice is no longer heard
But within the words of this poem
I will continue to watch over you

The day will come
When my dreams are no longer known
But in the spaces found in the letters of this poem
I will never tired of looking for you"
— Sapardi Djoko Damono

"dalam diriku mengalir sungai panjang,
darah namanya;
dalam diriku menggenang telaga darah,
sukma namanya;
dalam diriku meriak gelombang sukma,
hidup namanya;
dan karena hidup itu indah,
aku menangis sepuas-puasnya"
— Sapardi Djoko Damono (Hujan bulan Juni: Pilihan sajak)

"Apa yang kau tangkap dari suara hujan
Dari daun-daun bugenvil yang teratur mengetuk jendel.
Apakah yang kau tangkap dari bau tanah
Dari ricik air yang turun di selokan"
