    Oscar Wilde
    “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
    Oscar Wilde

    “Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being "in love", which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
    Shawn Slovo, Captain Corelli's Mandolin filmscript

    Henry Rollins
    “It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it's so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn't coma back. You're left so alone that you can't explain. Damn, there's nothing like that, is there? I've been there and you have too. You're nodding your head.”
    Henry Rollins, The Portable Henry Rollins

    Gillian Anderson
    “Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”
    Gillian Anderson

    Tom Robbins
    “When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
    Tom Robbins

    Lisa Kleypas
    “I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
    Lisa Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil

    Sapardi Djoko Damono
    “Maka pada suatu pagi hari ia ingin sekali menangis sambil berjalan tunduk sepanjang lorong itu. Ia ingin pagi itu hujan turun rintik-rintik dan lorong sepi agar ia bisa berjalan sendiri saja sambil menangis dan tak ada orang bertanya kenapa.

    Ia tidak ingin menjerit-jerit berteriak-teriak mengamuk memecahkan cermin membakar tempat tidur. Ia hanya ingin menangis lirih saja sambil berjalan sendiri dalam hujan rintik-rintik di lorong sepi pada suatu pagi.”
    sapardi djoko damono

    Sapardi Djoko Damono
    “tak ada yang lebih tabah
    dari hujan bulan Juni
    dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya
    kepada pohon berbunga itu

    tak ada yang lebih bijak
    dari hujan bulan Juni
    dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya
    yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu

    tak ada yang lebih arif
    dari hujan bulan Juni
    dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan
    diserap akar pohon bunga itu”
    Sapardi Djoko Damono, Hujan Bulan Juni

    Sapardi Djoko Damono
    “DI RESTORAN

    Kita berdua saja, duduk. Aku memesan
    ilalang panjang dan bunga rumput --
    kau entah memesan apa. Aku memesan
    batu ditengah sungai terjal yang deras --

    kau entah memesan apa. Tapi kita berdua
    saja, duduk. Aku memesan rasa sakit
    yang tak putus dan nyaring lengkingnya,
    memesan rasa lapar yang asing itu.

    (1989)”
    Sapardi Djoko Damono, Hujan Bulan Juni
