“Kecerdasan adalah kecepatan untuk memahami segala sesuatu,
sedangkan kemampuan adalah kesanggupan untuk bertindak bijaksana dalam menghadapi segala sesuatu.”

“Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings
but contemplate their return.

If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
And when death comes, you are ready.”
― Chuang Tzu

“Poetry is a way of looking at the world for the first time.”
― W.S. Merwin

“We must never assume that local practice conforms with state theory.”
― James C. Scott, Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed
