“She was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hand all the time, as if they were afraid they'd bore you or something. Jane was different. We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“And the rest is rust and stardust.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“Uang, berilah aku rumah yang murah saja,
yang cukup nyaman buat berteduh senja-senjaku,
yang jendelanya hijau menganga seperti jendela mataku.”
― Joko Pinurbo, Kepada Cium

“Kenapa selama ini orang praktis terlupa akan burung gereja, daun asam, harum tanah: benda-benda nyata yang, meskipun sepele, memberi getar pada hidup dengan tanpa cincong? Tidakkah itu juga sederet rahmat, sebuah bahan yang sah untuk percakapan, untuk pemikiran, untuk puisi—seperti kenyataan tentang cinta dan mati?”
― Goenawan Mohamad, CATATAN PINGGIR 2
