“Mengapa perempuan saja yang harus tunduk pada laki-laki, sedangkan laki-laki boleh menyia-nyiakan perempuan? Laki-laki dan perempuan sama-sama makhluk Tuhan, yang sama haknya sebagai manusia, walaupun berlainan kewajibannya.”
― Marah Rusli, Memang Jodoh

“rupanya perjodohan itu bukanlah perbuatan dan kekuasaan manusia saja, melainkan memang telah ditetapkan di Lauh Mahfuz.”
― Marah Rusli, Memang Jodoh

“The constant, obvious flattery, contrary to all evidence, of the people around him [Tsar Nicholas I] had brought him to the point that he no longer saw his contradictions, no longer conformed his actions and words to reality, logic, or even simple common sense, but was fully convinced that all his orders, however senseless, unjust, and inconsistent with each other, became sensible, just, and consistent with each other only because he gave them.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Hadji Murád

“…. karena tak ada perempuan yang suka dimadu. Kalau dia berdiam diri, bukan karena suka, tapi karena tak berdaya; takut sengsara jika ditinggalkan suaminya.”
― Marah Rusli, Memang Jodoh
