“What is a friend? We probably all have our own definitions. For me, it's someone I don't feel alone with. Who doesn't bore me. Whose life I connect with and who takes reciprocal interest in my life. It's someone I feel comfortable turning to when I need to be talked off the ledge, and for whom I am glad to return the favor.
Just a few people in my life fit that bill.”
― Sophia Dembling, The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World

Buat apa punya jala begitu besar kalau sedikit sekali ikan yang bisa ditangkap?”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“Hijau adalah warna yang indah. Warna Islam. Warna kesukaanku.”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“A library doesn’t need windows, Andrew. We have books, which are windows into worlds we never even dreamed possible.”
