Nh. Dini
“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'.”
Nh. Dini, Dari Rue Saint Simon ke Jalan Lembang

Susan Sontag
“Interpretation is the revenge of the intellectual upon art. ”
Susan Sontag
