“You do not become a ''dissident'' just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society.”
― Vaclav Havel

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
― Bernard M. Baruch

“Anak lelaki tak boleh dihiraukan panjang, hidupnya ialah buat berjuang, kalau perahunya telah dikayuhnya ke tengah, dia tak boleh surut palang, meskipun bagaimana besar gelombang. Biarkan kemudi patah, biarkan layar robek, itu lebih mulia daripada membalik haluan pulang.”
― Hamka, Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck

“Seorang terpelajar itu harus adil, sejak dalam pikiran! [Bumi Manusia]”
― Pramoedya Ananta Toer
