Quote by Ian Buruma

“But the death wish in the name of a higher cause, a god, or great leader is something that has appealed to confused and resentful young men through the ages and is certainly not unique to Islam.”

“Penulis fiksi tidak bisa menyimpan rahasia. Untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada orang lain, seorang penulis harus bisa membuka dirinya - seluas dan sedalam mungkin - untuk dicela, dicemooh dan dilihat orang. Ini resiko profesi. Fiksi adalah bentuk tulisan paling jujur yang akan pernah kau temui. Imajinasi adalah manifestasi pikiran, iman, serta ketakutan. Tiga hal yang membentuk pribadi manusia. Tanpa imajinasi, kita - penulis - tidak punya apa-apa. ~ Winter Dreams”

“Saya ingat permainan yang Ibu ajarkan kepada saya, sebuah karton dilubangi tengahnya dan saya harus menggapai bola yang ditaruh di baliknya. Ketika saya berhasil menggenggam bola di balik lubang itu, Ibu meminta saya untuk melepaskannya. Tentu saja saya tidak mau karena sebelumnya sudah sulit bagi saya untuk mendapatkan bola itu. Sebelum kamu menggenggam bola itu, ia hanyalah imajinasimu. Dan ketika kamu mendapatkannya ia menjadi obsesimu. Namun, keduanya tetap tidak akan menjadi nyata ketika kamu tidak dapat melihatnya karena terhalang oleh karton itu. Karton itu adalah dirimu. Dan diri sendiri adalah musuh terbesar pada setiap manusianya. Penghalang kita untuk belajar melepaskan sesuatu yang hanyalah imajinasi dan obsesi saja. Tidak nyata.”
