Quote by Mike Hockney

“Lucy shook her head. ‘How can you say that love’s a crime?’ ‘Love was Satan’s deadliest gift to mankind. When Pandora opened her box, the first and greatest evil to fly out was love.’ ‘I don’t understand.’ ‘Love is the glue that keeps souls attached to this world, stuck in this hell. It mires us in misery. Love glitters and seduces. No one would endure one moment of this hell if they felt nothing but the pain. It’s the love that allows people to bear it. Love traps us, keeps us in the snares of the material world, this false world of the false god. Yet you, better than anyone, know that the underside of love is pain, the worst pain of all.’ Lucy looked away. Morson, in his mad way, was right. Love is poison. A beautiful poison, but poison all the same. The first taste might be paradise, but what followed was hell.”

“Closing her eyes again, she relived every moment they had spent together. Especially, she remembered his kisses – sometimes tender, sometimes passionate, always blazing with love. She loved him then and loved him still. She would always love him. It was the only true thing in her life. Even though the Committee had done everything to destroy her love, it had survived in her heart. Her love for John was the one thing she could be sure of, the only certainty amidst all the lies that had been force-fed to her for God knows how many years.”

“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.”
