“Bacalah banyak buku tanpa mengerti artinya. Bermainlah tanpa takut sakit. Tonton televisi tanpa takut jadi bodoh. Bermanja-manjalah tanpa takut dibenci. Makanlah tanpa takut gendut. Percayalah tanpa takut kecewa. Sayangilah orang tanpa takut dikhianati. Hanya sekarang kamu bisa mendapatkan semua itu. Rugi, kalau kamu tidak memanfaatkan saat-saat ini untuk hidup tanpa rasa takut.”

“Pengkhianat ada di mana-mana, bahkan di depan hidung kita, Laut. Kita tak pernah tahu dorongan setiap orang untuk berkhianat: bisa saja duit, kekuasaan, dendam, atau sekadar rasa takut dan tekanan penguasa. Kita harus belajar kecewa bahwa orang yang kita percaya ternyata memegang pisau dan menusuk punggung kita. Kita tak bisa berharap semua orang akan selalu loyal pada perjuangan dan persahabatan.”

“DPRD atau DPR selama ini adalah septic tanc, tempat penampungan belaka. Negara ini sama sekali tidak mengenal empat pilar. Kami hanya mengenal satu pilar kokoh yang berkuasa: presiden.”

“After a battle lasting many ages,
The Devil won,
And said to God
(who had been his Maker):
"Lord,
We are about to witness the unmaking of Creation
By my hand.
I would not wish you
to think me cruel,
So I beg you, take three things
From this world before I destroy it.
Three things, and then the rest will be
wiped away."
God thought for a little time.
And at last He said:
"No, there is nothing."
The Devil was surprised.
"Not even you, Lord?" he said.
And God said:
"No. Not even me.”
― Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War

“Oh, Nastenka! You know, we thank some people for merely living at the same time as we do. I thank you for the fact that I met you, that I will remember you for all my life!”
