— Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

“If we revert to history, we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves have neither been the most beautiful nor the most gentle of their sex.”

— Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

“To be human is to confuse a satisfying story with a meaningful one, and to mistake life for something huge with two legs. No: life is mobilized on a vastly larger scale, and the world is failing precisely because no novel can make the contest for the world seem as compelling as the struggles between a few lost people.”

— Richard Powers, The Overstory (via quotespile)

“In a dream one person enjoys one hundred years of happiness and then awakes, while another awakes after being happy for just a moment. Surely the happiness of both ceases once they have awakened. That is what it is like at the time of death for the one who lives long and for the one whose life is short.”

— Śāntideva, Bodhicaryāvatāra, Crosby & Skilton tr. (6:57-58)

“Tidak semua yang kamu rasakan saat ini harus kamu kabarkan pada semua atau sebagian orang, ada saatnya gemuruh hati itu kamu simpan sendiri untuk disampaikan pada Allah. Iya, berdua saja, hanya kamu dan Dia yang tahu. Dan itu lebih menenangkan.”

—

Sebaik-baik cara untuk menyembuhkan luka adalah menceritakan luka dan sakit itu pada yang tepat, yang akan memberi obat sesuai kadar sakitnya, yang akan memberikan jawaban pada persoalan yang semua manusia tidak bisa menjawabnya.

Hanya berdua saja, entah dalam doamu sebelum beranjak tidur, atau kala sujud dengan air mata yang jatuh tanpa kamu diminta, seakan tubuh enggan bangun sampai tersampaikan semua gemuruh dan ketakutan hati soal dunia. Tanpa terasa lisanmu berkata “Ya Allah, peluklah doa-doaku”

Berdua saja, antara kamu dan Allah saja yang tahu.
