Quote by Evi Sri Rezeki

“Melelahkan sekali ketika kita terus mengejar pengakuan dari orang lain. Kepuasan harus berasal dari diri sendiri. Aku tidak mau terlihat menyedihkan. Aku ingin sahabat dan keluargaku merasa bangga. Dan bukan kebanggaan yang kubangun di atas pasir yang sewaktu-waktu hilang tertiup angin. Aku ingin kebanggaan mereka sekuat baja. Kebanggaan yang berasal dari diriku sendiri.”

Yet we give sanction to that sort of request when it comes to school assignments.”

The eighteen and nineteen year olds didn't socialize with the younger kids, and though there were plenty of students my age and younger [...] their lives were so cloistered and their concerns so foolish and foreign-seeming that it was as if they spoke some lost middle-school tongue I'd forgotten. They lived at home with their parents; they worried about things like grade curves and Italian Abroad and summer internships at the UN; they freaked out if you lit a cigarette in front of them; they were earnest, well-meaning, undamaged, clueless. For all I had in common with any of them, I might as well have tried to go down and hang out with the eight year olds at PS 41.”

“When you take the step towards your dreams you will be met with fears because you have never traveled this way before. As you go, you will discover that you had nothing to fear. Through overcoming your fears you give those that follow you hope that if they pursue their dreams, they will achieve their dreams.”
