Walt Whitman
“This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labour to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.”
― Walt Whitman, Poems by Walt Whitman

Djokolelono
“Jangan salah terima, adikku," dengan terharu Sri Rama memeluk adiknya. "Aku mengusir kakandamu dewi Sinta bukan karena aku telah tak cinta lagi padanya, tidak. Ketahuilah bahwa Rama masih tetap mencintai Sinta dengan sepenuh hati, namun Rama bukan saja milik Sinta. Rama-mu, Rama yang mencintai Sinta ini, tak tega dan tak rela melihat Sinta menderita. Tapi Rama milik orang Ayodya, harus memenuhi keinginan orang Ayodya. Dan mereka ingin supaya Sinta diusir. Oh, Adikku, tak mengertikah engkau bahwa Rama-mu ini tidak bisa menolak perintah dari Rama orang Ayodya yang menjadi Bapak semua rakyat?" Sri Rama makin deras meneteskan air mata. Begitupun Laksmana yang bersimpuh di kakinya.”
― Djokolelono, Lawa dan Kusya

“Apabila Paduka memang benar-benar mencintai dan menyayangi hamba sebagai 'garwa', sebagai 'sigaran nyawa' Paduka, hamba percaya, bahwa tidak akan ada yang tak dapat dipikul. Sebab bagaimanapun beratnya suatu beban. akan tetapi kalau kita tanggung bersama, tentu tidak akan terasa beratnya. Kakanda Pangeran tidak usah merahasiakan sesuatu, tak ada gunanya menyembunyikan hal-hal yang seharusnya dipecahkan bersama,”
― Heroesoekarto, Kisah Narasoma

Felice Stevens
“He wanted to be wanted, not simply be a body used as a means to an end.”
― Felice Stevens, Please Don't Go

“Ma ha bisogno anche di qualcuno che si prenda cura di lui e sia più di un amico. Ha bisogno di una persona che lo ami perché è eccezionale e fuori dal comune e meraviglioso, perché è… Jake, e non di qualcuno che è affascinato solo dal suo cognome. Non ha bisogno di parassiti, ma di una persona vera, onesta.”
― Giselle Ellis
