    Goenawan Mohamad
    “Pernah ada masanya kita tahu bahwa buku yang laris belum tentu buku yang bermutu. Pernah kita mendasarkan informasi kita tentang “bermutu” atau “tidak” kepada satu atau dua orang penilai yang berwibawa. Tapi dewasa ini, bukan penilaian para penilai itu saja yang digugat. Bahkan ide tentang “bermutu” itu sendiri sudah dirobohkan, seakan-akan di sana ada kekuasaan para cendekia yang memaksa.”

    Albert Camus
    “But it's not easy. I've been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn't need words to make ourselves understood. But people don't love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn't.”

    “The end of man is knowledge, but there is one thing he can't know. He can't know whether knowledge will save him or kill him. He will be killed, all right, but he can't know whether he is killed because of the knowledge which he has got or because of the knowledge which he hasn't got and which if he had it, would save him.”

    Albert Camus
    “In fact, it comes to this: nobody is capable of really thinking about anyone, even in the worst calamity. For really to think about someone means thinking about that person every minute of the day, without letting one’s thoughts be diverted by anything- by meals, by a fly that settles on one’s cheek, by household duties, or by a sudden itch somewhere. But there are always flies and itches. That’s why life is difficult to live.”
