Quote by Louisa Punt-Fouché

“___________________________________________________________________________ A dream verse runs with strong legs after the wisp of snipes uttering their well-known cry, free of passion. It is early evening in autumn in a marsh.”

“The majority of people don't read my writings. My books don't sell. My poetry is not mainstream. My novel was about strugglers. I have never been invited to any literary meet. I have never been on stage for any event related to literature. I have a job of teaching. Most hours of my time are spent in teaching. And I am a nobody in the literature world. I guess readers want to read about happiness, self-love, fantasy, and thrills of life, but I write on the reality and the struggle of life. Coming from a struggling family, I have faced struggles all my life. And I am still struggling in life. But I want to stand up for the strugglers and the underprivileged people of our world. There are many people who struggle hard all their life but get no recognition from anyone. Hope most of us can stand up for the strugglers and fighters of our world who have not yet given up their dreams.”

“Dreams are disappointing, right? Kita selama ini selalu berharap sama mimpi. Lewatin hidup cuma untuk mengejar mimpi itu, karena kita percaya dia yang bakal bawa kita bebas dan bahagia. Tapi waktu kita udah bisa gapai mimpi itu, nggak ada yang bisa bikin kita bahagia. Dan yang brengsek, sekalipun mimpi itu terus-menerus mengecewakan lo dan membuat lo menjadi orang asing untuk diri sendiri, di suatu titik lo akan sadar kalau lo nggak akan pernah bisa ninggalin mereka. Karena lo tahu, selama ini cuma karena mimpi itu, hidup lo akhirnya punya tujuan.”

“... a fountain pen with a curious label: For finding dreams that don't exist yet. Evangeline had been unable to resist trying the pen, and as soon as she did, a fledgling dream had taken form. She didn't know how long she'd spent drawing, only that when her piece was done, it felt like a picture of a promise. Evangeline and her love were at the end of a dock covered in candles, which made the ocean glow so that it looked like a sea of fallen stars. Only night and her moon watched. No one else was there, just Evangeline and her groom. Their foreheads were pressed together- and she might not have known exactly what they were doing if not for the words her pen had etched in to the sky. And then they will write their vows on their hands and place them over each other's chests, so they may sink in to their hearts, where they will be kept safe forever and always.”

“Turning points are not something we can fake through action. They come after long--often dark--periods of work and preparation. But when they do, it's as if all the energies of the universe coalesce and we know, deep within our hearts, we are ready to do whatever it takes to follow the soul's call.”
