Quote by Beverly Engel

“Most survivors tend to be the care-giver rather than the care-receiver. We tend to be good at being spouses and parents, anticipating our loved ones needs, going the second mile when it came to self sacrifice. But seldom can we ask our loved ones to give to us. We fool ourselves into believing we don’t need much.”

“Orang Amerika itu penuh curiga pada bom atom atau bom hidrogen mereka sendiri, tidak percaya pada diri mereka sendiri, dan orang Rusia juga sama-sama saling tidak percaya antara mereka, orang Asia tidak percaya pada orang Barat, dan Barat takut dan tidak percaya pada Asia. Rasialisme di Afrika Selatan, politik kulit putih Australia, curiga bangsa asing di Indonesia dan negara-negara Asia lain, diskriminasi Negro di Amerika, ini semuanya berdasar pada tidak percaya. Karena manusia tidak percaya pada manusia, tidak percaya bahwa manusia sama manusia bisa dan harus sama-sama hidup. Si komunis begitu, si demokrat begitu, si imperialis begitu, si merdeka begitu. Semuanya sama saja.”
