“Tumbuh dewasa rasanya seperti itu. Waktu masih kecil, semua orang perhatian. Tapi, begitu dewasa, sedikit demi sedikit, kamu hilang dari pandangan. Makannya, orang dewasa pakai make-up, berdandan rapi, pakai baju bagus ... Karena kalau ngga, ngga akan ada yang melihat mereka. Penampilan, bagi orang dewasa, itu seperti baju untuk manusia transparan —membuat orang sadar kalau mereka ada. Karena biasanya, di dunia orang dewasa, orang-orang ngga punya cukup perhatian untuk menunggu kamu bicara dan bilang kalau kamu ada.”
― Ziggy Zezsyazeoviennazabrizkie, Jakarta Sebelum Pagi

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

“I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money – I think that can be a burden – I’m greedy for an exciting life. I want it to be exciting all the time, and I get it, actually. On the other hand, I can find excitement, I admit, in raindrops falling on a puddle and a lot of people wouldn’t. I intend to have it exciting until the day I fall over.”
― David Hockney, A Bigger Message: Conversations with David Hockney

“Such wounds to the heart will probably never heal. But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.”
