Quote by Kalidasa

“Hadapilah hari ini! Inilah saatnya untuk menuntut hidup yang nyata, Dalam rentang waktu yang pendek ini, kita mendapat kesempatan untuk: Berkembang dengan gembira, bertindak dengan mulia. Menciptakan keindahan yang mempesona, Karena hari kemarin cuma mimpi dan hari esok cuma bayang-bayang. Tapi bila hari ini kita jalani dengan baik, setiap hari kemarin akan menjadi mimpi yang indah. Dan setiap hari esok menjadi bayang-bayang harapan. Jadi manfaatkanlah hari ini sebaik-baiknya.”

“He came back from France when Tom and Daisy were still on their wedding trip, and made a miserable but irresistible journey to Louisville on the last of his army pay. He stayed there a week, walking the streets where their footsteps had clicked together through the November night and revisiting the out-of-the-way places to which they had driven in her white car. Just as Daisy's house had always seemed to him more mysterious and gay than other houses so his idea of the city itself, even though she was gone from it, was pervaded with a melancholy beauty. He left feeling that if he had searched harder he might have found her—that he was leaving her behind. The day-coach—he was penniless now—was hot. He went out to the open vestibule and sat down on a folding-chair, and the station slid away and the backs of unfamiliar buildings moved by. Then out into the spring fields, where a yellow trolley raced them for a minute with people in it who might once have seen the pale magic of her face along the casual street. The track curved and now it was going away from the sun which, as it sank lower, seemed to spread itself in benediction over the vanishing city where she had drawn her breath. He stretched out his hand desperately as if to snatch only a wisp of air, to save a fragment of the spot that she had made lovely for him. But it was all going by too fast now for his blurred eyes and he knew that he had lost that part of it, the freshest and the best, forever.”

“Bien plus que le vieux désir de sa balader ailleurs, c'est la pression de la société toute entière qui pousse le travailleur à rendre à l'auto ce gain qu'elle lui procure. C'est pour cela qu'elle l'enchaîne à la chaîne, et que pour être sûre qu'il ne la trahira pas, elle le condamne aux travaux forcés de l'achat à crédit. L'auto le lie au travail, et quand le travailleur est bien crevé, elle le mène se distraire là où il doit consommer.”
