Quote by Eka Kurniawan

“Jangan biarkan orang sakit mencicipi kebugaran, sebab ia akan lebih sakit dari sebelumnya. Jangan biarkan orang bodoh merasakan sedikit pengetahuan, ia akan lebih tersiksa. Jangan biarkan orang miskin merengguk sedikit harta, ia akan terlilit lapar yang tak tertahankan.”

“I wanted to turn toward someone full of testosterone and beg him to be strong for us. To gather up all the stuff God gave him for a time such as this and protect us. I couldn’t protect her, or me. And I knew it. Knowing it irked me, quietly. It was such an inconvenient time for my conscience to remind me of reality. Why couldn’t it just let me keep eating dust and calling it food? These clothes, these women, these dreams, this voice, her submission to it, this heavy walk that made my mother cringe, weren’t they the truth? Didn’t they mean I had successfully transformed? Couldn’t I be what I wanted to be? Between me and God, in the secrecy of my conscience, my being a woman felt inescapably real. As much as I’d believed I could, when in the presence of a man made to be one, I knew there was a natural distinction between the two of us that even the heaviness of my voice couldn’t undo. In the other room, his voice still shook the walls. The louder it got, the more I remembered my first name.”

“I think it takes an exceptional person to fight for someone they should hate. I love that you’re different, and I admire your uniqueness.” He paused, his throat bobbing as he swallowed. “I don’t really give a shit what my memories bring back. I don’t give a shit what responsibilities await me or even who waits for me. I don’t want anything to do with that life if you’re not in it. You are my friend, and whatever we face, we will face it together —memories or no memories.” Ash ran a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated. “You don’t get it, do you? I’m the one who doesn’t deserve you, damn it. And for the love of all things, you are fucking gorgeous. I thought it from the moment I laid eyes on you in that bar in the human world.”
