Quote by Thomas Wolfe

“She went away in beauty's flower, Before her youth was spent; Ere life and love had lived their hour God called her, and she went. Yet whispers Faith upon the wind: No grief to her was given. She left your love and went to find A greater one in heaven.”

“Jadilah rumahku, ke manapun aku berkelana, selalu berpulang padamu. Jadilah tanah tempatku berpijak, ke mana pun aku terbang, ku kan kembali pulang, kala lelah kukepak sayap.
