Marcus Tullius Cicero

Impian itu seperti sayap. Dia membawamu pergi ke berbagai tempat. Kurasa, mamamu sadar akan hal itu. Dia tahu, kalau dia mencegah mimpimu, itu sama aja dengan memotong sayap burung. Burung tersebut memang nggak akan lari, tapi burung tanpa sayap sudah bukan burung lagi. Dan manusia tanpa mimpi, sudah bukan manusia lagi.

A house is no home unless it contain food and fire for the mind as well as for the body.

Margaret Fuller

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely happier for it.

Thomas Jefferson
