Quote by Kay Boyle

“I heard the military bands playing with false and terrible cheer in the streets as the recruits went off to war [WW1]. I had beat the bed with my fists then, and cried tears of rage that young men must march off to this artful ad calculated accompaniment to places where wagon roads would be laid across their bones.”

“Pada dasarnya, manusia kan mencintai dirinya sendiri. Tahu mitos soal 'kalau mukanya mirip berarti jodoh', dan suami-istri biasanya berwajah mirip? Mitos itu cuma cara masyarakat untuk berkilah dari pengakuan bahwa mereka mencintai dirinya sendiri, atau itu dorongan dari alam bawah sadar mereka. Aku rasa, itu terjadi karena setiap orang terlalu mencintai dirinya sendiri. Makanya dia bakal merasa cocok sama orang lain yang serupa sama dia. Wajahnya serupa, kelakuannya serupa—semua mengacu pada dirinya sendiri.”
