“Di Tanah Air, mengalami Pemerintahan satu berganti ke Pemerintahan lain, namun dengan sistem yang sama dan mengecewakan memang membikin hati ini gemes atau penasaran. Aku bahkan sering berang terhadap pihak pelaksana aturan-aturan negara. Lebih-lebih kepada pihak penguasa yang menggunakan wewenang mereka untuk menggerogoti kekayaan negara. Keserakahan membuat korupsi menjadi hal yang 'biasa'.”

“Every ideology dies together with the social relations which produced it. This final disappearance is, however, preceded by a moment when the ideology, suffering the blows of the critique directed at it, loses its ability to veil and conceal the social relations from which it emanated. The exposure of the roots of an ideology is a sure sign of its imminent end. For, as Lassalle said: "The dawning of a new age always consists only in the knowledge attained about the true nature of the preceding reality.”
