Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Once a man's thirty, he's already old, He is indeed as good as dead. It's best to kill him right away.

Once a man's thirty, he's already old, He is indeed as good

Kami antarsaudara terpaksa saling bunuh hanya karena kekuasa

Kami antarsaudara terpaksa saling bunuh hanya karena kekuasaan. Itulah yang nyaris terjadi di setiap negara. Demokrasi yang sekarang menggejala, apakah benar akan mengantarkan manusia pada kesadaran untuk berhenti saling membunuh? Tidak juga.
