Quote by Ahmad Tohari

“Semuanya mengingatkan Sakarya akan sebatang pohon kelapa yang ditiup angin. Bila angin bertiup dari utara pohon itu akan meliuk ke selatan. Bila angin reda pohon itu tidak langsung kembali tegak, melainkan berayun lebih dulu ke utara. Seperti pohon kelapa itu; sebelum kehidupan kembali tenang lebih dulu harus terjadi sesuatu.”

“It dawns on me that this is probably the first time I've hugged my dad since he moved out, which just makes me hug harder, and suddenly there's so much I want to ask him - like: Wasn't there some way he and Mom could have worked it out and did he miss me before I came to live with him and does he still love me even though he hates Mom now? But I don't ask him any of that because if I did, then I'd definitely start crying and I may not be able to stop - ever. So I just keep hugging.”

“It reached a point where the paranoia was getting to me. Everywhere I looked, it seemed like people were hanging out, wanting to date, hooking up, wanting to hook up—it was relationships, relationships, relationships everywhere. Guys checking out girls, girls checking out guys. Dudes checking out dudes, chicks checking out chicks. Fuck! That’s what being a teenager was all about.”

“You need to just fuck already. Get it over with before you kill each other." "Ah, always the romantic, Emmy," Joey says. "I'm so serious," she drawls in a drunken slur. "I don't know why you didn't pull the trigger last night, girl." "I tried!" I say. "But now he says I have to be sober if I want to hook up with him, and being sober on the road is for pussies." "Hey, pussies are tough," she says. "You should've seen the thrashing mine took last night." "Nope," I say. "No thank you.”
