Quote by Sapardi Djoko Damono

“Secangkir kopi yang dengan tenang menunggu kau minum itu tidak pernah mengusut kenapa kau bisa membedakan aromanya dari asap yang setiap hari kau hirup ketika berangkat dan pulang kerja di kota yang semakin tidak bisa mengerti kenapa mesti ada secangkir kopi yang tersedia di atas meja setiap pagi”

“But when I slept I was always in the truck, huddling together with the others, all of us stinking, shivering, naked, squeezed together for warmth, all but one. One lay by himself against the barred door, the cold one, with a mouth full of clotted blood. He was the traitor. He had gone on by himself, deserting us, deserting me. I would wake up full of rage, a feeble shaky rage that turned into feeble tears.”

“In dreams we become timeless. We can stretch one breath to the infinite, nestle deep into that single heartbeat, and create something wondrously impossible. We can shape our worlds and live our lives to their fullest. As many lives as we want, and in any direction. But we don’t know at what point that breath, that heartbeat, will reclaim us and transform everything we built into forgotten dust. Not even a full memory, only a ghost of a dream, replaced by the incessant light demanding that our bodies adhere to its own cruel schedule.”

“At the point of waking, as at no other time, it is possible to hold dreams. And even then, it is only for a few seconds: the moment when you are awake enough to realize you are still asleep. And whatever dream is with you, for that one moment, becomes tangible. You are able to touch it, stroke it, like a tame animal asleep in your lap. And you can feel the softness of his fur and the gradualness of his movements as he wakes slowly, stretching each paw out in front of him, licking the darkness from his whiskers, before he leaps away from you, taking his warmth with him, and leaving his with you.”
