Quote by Mike Hockney

“Every part of her felt the emptiness of life without John. She imagined she’d been skinned, and that ice-cold air was blowing over her flayed flesh. Staring at the white walls, she felt she was floating in some universe of her own, alone, damaged beyond repair, irredeemably cut off from love, from hope, from life itself.”

“Pernahkah kamu berpikir bahwasannya manusia adalah makhluk yang cukup menyedihkan? Dengan kepalanya yang berencana untuk memiliki banyak hal, namun belum atau bahkan tidak pernah terwujud. Kemudian menyesal dan mengutuk dirinya sendiri karena memiliki terlalu banyak keterbatasan. Pada malam-malamnya, sebelum tidur, menyusun ulang daftar dari hal-hal yang ingin dipeluknya --setengah dari benda-benda di dunia yang tidak dimilikinya. Dan barangkali kau berada di antara deretan benda-benda tersebut: rumah besar, mobil mewah, pesawat, atau kapal pesiar. Sebagai separuh dari hal-hal di dunia yang tidak bisa dimiliki olehnya.”

“The wild worship of lawlessness and the materialist worship of law end in the same void. Nietzsche scales staggering mountains, but he turns up ultimately in Tibet. He sits down beside Tolstoy in the land of nothing and Nirvana. They are both helpless—one because he must not grasp anything, and the other because he must not let go of anything. The Tolstoyan’s will is frozen by a Buddhist instinct that all special actions are evil. But the Nietzscheite’s will is quite equally frozen by his view that all special actions are good; for if all special actions are good, none of them are special. They stand at the crossroads, and one hates all the roads and the other likes all the roads. The result is—well, some things are not hard to calculate. They stand at the cross-roads.”

“Suppose you ignore your head and follow your heart to get into a relationship. When it ends, the head starts haunting you with logic, "See.. I told you it was a wrong decision. You have wasted precious time of your life." Head becomes too strong, heart becomes too weak. This imbalance of power between head and heart causes extreme pain. To bring balance again, strengthen your heart. Spend quality time with things you love.”
