“Sekali nafsu itu kau manjakan, maka nafsu itu akan semakin kurang ajar dan tidak tahu diri! Jangan pernah berdamai dengan nafsu! Sekali kau berdamai, maka nafsu itu akan menginjak harga dirimu dan menjajahmu! Jangan beri kehormatan sedikit pun pada nafsumu. Perlakukan dia sebagai makhluk hina, pengkhianat yang tidak boleh diberi ampun!”
― Habiburrahman El-Shirazy, Ayat-Ayat Cinta 2
