“When you want to read a book, you have to read it then. If you miss your chance, it'll end up on your "read someday" list... then your "maybe I don't need to read it" list... and then you'll forget it!”
― Yuuki Shikawa

“when you have a lovely but bitter past with someone and happens to meet them. Keep it light. Keep it short. Most of all, keep them, away.”

“Tuhan ada, anak-anak, percayalah. Tapi jangan paksakan Tuhanmu pada orang lain; seperti juga jangan paksakan kemanusiaanmu pada orang lain. Manusia perlu manusia lain ... manusia harus belajar hidup dengan kesalahan dan kekurangan manusia lain.”

“People don’t understand the word ruthless. They think it means ‘mean.’ It’s not about being mean. It’s about seeing the bright, clear line that leads from A to B. The line that goes from motive to means. Beginning to end. It’s about seeing that bright, clear line and not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution. Not caring about anything else but the perfection of it.”
― Katherine Applegate

“But mostly, I remembered what I’ve always believed. What my mom taught me. That while some things are just plain awful, most things in life can be seen either tragic or comic. And it’s your choice. Is life a big, long, tiresome slog from sadness to regret to guilt to resentment to self-pity? Or is life weird, outrageous, bizarre, ironic, and just stupid?
Gotta go with stupid.
It’s not the easy way out. Self-pity is the easiest thing in the world. Finding the humor, the irony, the slight justification for a skewed, skeptical optimism, that’s tough.”
― Katherine Applegate, The Proposal
