“For hundreds of years, more than half of the face of this earth has been controlled by European countries and turned in to colonies, and the Europeans have sucked up whatever they could find, brought it all home, and made themselves rich. But not Germany and Japan; they didn’t get anything. But now they have just as much power as any other developed country, and so they are demanding their share. That is the origin of this war, a war between greedy nations.”

“Aku tidak memilih waktu tertentu untuk membaca. Setiap aku punya waktu luang, aku membaca. Kapan saja, di mana saja. Pulang ke rumah, sebelum tidur, aku membaca. Bangun pagi, aku membaca dulu. Pokoknya, ketika tidak melakukan apa-apa, aku membaca buku. Atau, ketika aku sedang tidak ingin bermalas-malasan, aku membaca. Aku kadang-kadang memang hanya ingin bermalas-malasan. Di luar itu, setiap punya kesempatan, aku membaca. Lima atau enam halaman.

Justru aku biasanya tidak membaca buku ketika sedang dengan sengaja ingin jalan-jalan. Aku ingin jalan-jalan saja. Karena, aku merasa buku justru jadi gangguan. Membaca membuatku tidak bisa melihat apa-apa yang lain.”

“Ibuku menyodori pisau, “Potong jari kakimu. Kelak jika kau jadi ratu, kau tak akan terlalu banyak berjalan. Jadi kau tak membutuhkannya.” Maka kuambil pisau itu dan kugigit bibirku saat aku berusaha memutuskan ibu jari kakiku. Kubuang bagian kecil tubuhku itu ke tempat sampah untuk menjadi santapan anjing. Kini kusadari, Nak, dunia ini memang penuh dengan sepatu kekecilan yang hanya menerima orang-orang termutilasi.
