Quote by Bernardine Evaristo

“Ageing is nothing to be ashamed of Especially when the entire race is in it together Although sometimes it seems that she alone among her friends wants to celebrate getting older Because it’s such a privilege to not die prematurely”

“Bulan Merah lalu ditenggak darah bulan merah lolongnya yang serigala hingga ujung benua sebayang lindap sebayang lindap melayar-layar bulan merah mengucur airmata dengusnya yang api memunahkan negeri-negeri sebusur waktu sebusur waktu meluncur-luncur tatap bulan merah di waktu malam merapat di ubun-ubun hingga purnamanya penuh sempurna sebugil bulat sebugil bulan menggigil-gigil o, bulan merah di puncak sunyi geliat sepi amuknya!”

“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, Which I gaze on so fondly to-day, Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms, Live fairy-gifts fading away, Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still. It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear, That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known, To which time will but make thee more dear! No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close, As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets The same look which she turned when he rose!”
