“Dunia kita dekat sekali dengan kegelapan. Maka saat gelap menyelimutimu, pastikan kamu tetap berusaha mencari cahaya di sekitarmu. Dirimu sendiri adalah satu-satunya yang bisa kaupercaya. Nurani. Cahaya itu selalu ada di hatimu. Gunakanlah. Terangi jalanmu, temukan pilihan hidupmu. Semoga itu bisa membawamu menuju jalan yang lebih baik.”
― Tere Liye, Selena

“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?”
― Emily Dickinson, Selected Letters

“Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.”
― Emily Dickinson

“A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”
― Madeleine L'Engle
