“Kau memang tidak mengganggu siapapun, tetapi mulutmu selalu bungkam. Katanya kau pernah mengalami trauma hebat. Sejak itu kau mulai melupakan wajah. Kau lupa siapa-siapa saja tetanggamu bahkan ketika mereka berpapasan denganmu di pasar. Orang-orang pun mulai malas menyapamu, tak ingin tertular kesedihanmu.”
― Intan Paramaditha, Sihir Perempuan

“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”
― Albert Camus

“Sesuatu yang dijaga sejak kecil tidak akan kemana-mana sewaktu besar.”

“Help out? What is it with you and ‘helping out?’ You’re going to ‘help out’ with chores. ‘Help out’ with raising our baby. ‘Help out’ with finding me a new job. Isn’t this your house, too? Your home? Your child? And if I work, don’t you spend my pay, too? Why do you keep saying ‘help out’ like you’re volunteering to pitch in on someone else’s work?”
― Cho Nam-Joo, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982
