“I prayed all the way up that hill yesterday, he said softly. Not for you to stay; I didna think that would be right. I prayed I'd be strong enough to send ye away. He shook his head, still gazing up the hill, a faraway look in his eyes.
I said 'Lord, if I've never had courage in my life before, let me have it now. Let me be brave enough not to fall on my knees and beg her to stay.' He pulled his eyes away from the cottage and smiled briefly at me.
Hardest thing I ever did, Sassenach.”
― Diana Gabaldon

“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

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana;
dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan
kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu

aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana;
dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada”
― Sapardi Djoko Damono
