Quote by Soe Hok Gie

“Ketika Hitler mulai membuas maka kelompok Inge School berkata tidak. Mereka (pemuda-pemuda Jerman ini) punya keberanian untuk berkata "tidak". Mereka, walaupun masih muda, telah berani menentang pemimpin-pemimpin gang-gang bajingan, rezim Nazi yang semua identik. Bahwa mereka mati, bagiku bukan soal. Mereka telah memenuhi panggilan seorang pemikir. Tidak ada indahnya (dalam arti romantik) penghukuman mereka, tetapi apa yang lebih puitis selain bicara tentang kebenaran.”

“It was a fossilized path: the will which had cut this gash out of these solitary places so that the blood and sap would flow there was long since dead - and dead too were the circumstances which had guided this will. A whitish and indurated scar remained, gradually gnawed away by the earth like a flesh that heals itself, yet its direction was still vaguely cut into the horizon; a language and crepuscular sign rather than a way forward - a worn-out lifeline which still vegetated through the fallow land as it does on the palm of a hand. It was so old that, since it had been constructed, the very configuration of the land must have changed imperceptibly.”

“Bruce looked at David and David asked, “Is that Harold?” He was wearing the same Meadow Brook Basketball jacket and had only a few gray hairs left on his round head. Harold walked up to his two favorite players and exclaimed, “Give me five!” and he extended both hands and the guys lightly slapped his palms, as the other eight ex-players chuckled in the background. The cylinders started clicking in David’s mind as Harold said, “On the other side.” The guys lightly slapped the knuckle side of Harold’s hand as David said, “Oh, shit!”

“To cause change to happen a person needs a greater or bigger fore than their own conscious mind to cause that pendulum to start swinging in the other direction. The person needs to embrace a bigger principle. The principle is a Force existing all around you and within you, at your beck and call whenever you're read to use it. It is THE ALL.”
