“They say a man's inspiration is visual, but for a woman, it's the narrative.
Abandon both the narrative and the visual. Close your eyes, measure your breath.
Dead weight is sloughed off, dust swept away, forms dissolve into one atmosphere.
The rib cage opens, the lungs fill, the breast rises.
Waves sweep up the body on their swell, rocking it rhythmically.
Feet planted, the back arches, the pelvis reaches forward.
Oxygen kindles a flame, sprawling through the belly, and gathering in a warm blaze.
The hand reaches to meet the sensation.
Calligraphy spills from the inkwell.
Open your eyes, sharpen your focus, and exclaim:
There are no separations.”

“Mengapa saya tidak bekerja? Bukankah saya dokter? Memang. Dan sangat mungkin bagi saya untuk bekerja pada waktu itu. Namun, saya pikir buat apa uang tambahan dan kepuasan batin yang barangkali cukup banyak itu jika akhirnya diberikan pada seorang perawat pengasuh anak bergaji tinggi dengan risiko kami sendiri kehilangan kedekatan pada anak sendiri? Apa artinya tambahan uang dan kepuasan profesional jika akhirnya anak saya tidak dapat saya timang dan saya bentuk sendiri pribadinya? Anak saya akan tidak mempunyai ibu. Seimbangkah anak kehilangan ibu bapak? Seimbangkah orangtua kehilangan anak dengan uang dan kepuasan pribadi tambahan karena bekerja? Itulah sebabnya saya memutuskan menerima hidup pas-pasan. Tiga setengah tahun kami bertiga hidup begitu. (Ainun Habibie, Tahun-tahun Pertama)”
