“Tetapi kenang-kenangan demonstrasi akan tetap hidup. Dia adalah batu tapal daripada perjuangan mahasiswa Indonesia, batu tapal dalam revolusi Indonesia dan batu tapal dalam sejarah Indonesia. Karena yang dibelanya adalah keadilan dan kejujuran.”
― Soe Hok Gie

“Barangkali itulah mengapa kematian ada, aku menduga. Mengapa kita mengenal konsep berpisah dan bersua. Terkadang kita memang harus berpisah dengan diri kita sendiri; dengan proyeksi. Diri yang telah menjelma menjadi manusia yang kita cinta.”
― Dee, Rectoverso

“Aku Ingin

aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana:
dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan
kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya debu

aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana:
dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan
awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada”
― Sapardi Djoko Damono

“The significance of our lives and our fragile planet is then determined only by our own wisdom and courage. We are the custodians of life's meaning. We long for a Parent to care for us, to forgive us our errors, to save us from our childish mistakes. But knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring fable. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal.”
― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
