“Begini cara kerja sesuatu yang engkau sebut cinta;
Engkau bertemu seseorang lalu perlahan-lahan merasa nyaman berada di sekitarnya.
Jika dia dekat, engkau akan merasa utuh dan terbelah ketika dia menjauh.
Keindahan adalah ketika engkau merasa ia memerhatikanmu tanpa engkau tahu.
Sewaktu kemenyerahan itu meringkusmu, mendengar namanya disebut pun menggigilkan akalmu.
Engkau mulai tersenyum dan menangis tanpa mau disebut gila.
Berhati-hatilah….
Kelak, hidup adalah ketika engkau menjalani hari-hari dengan optimisme. Melakukan hal-hal hebat. Menikmati kebersamaan dengan orang-orang baru. Tergelak dan gembira, membuat semua orang berpikir hidupmu telah sempurna.
Sementara, pada jeda yang engkau buat bisu, sewaktu langit meriah oleh benda-benda yang berpijar, ketika sebuah lagu menyeretmu ke masa lalu, wajahnya memenuhi setiap sudutmu. Bahkan, langit membentuk auranya. Udara bergerak mendesaukan suaranya. Bulan melengkungkan senyumnya.
Bersiaplah… Engkau akan mulai merengek kepada Tuhan.
Meminta sesuatu yang mungkin itu telah haram bagimu.”

“Begini. Sebuah otobiografi tidak ada nilainya, kecuali jika si penulis merasa kehidupannya tidak berguna. Kalau dia memganggap dirinya orang besar, karyanya akan menjadi subjektif. Tidak objektif. Otobiografiku hanya mungkin jika ada keseimbangan antara keduanya. Sekian banyak yang baik-baik supaya dapat mengurangi egoku dan sekian banyak yang jelek-jelek sehingga orang mau membeli buku itu. Kalau dimasukkan yang baik-baik saja, orang akan menyebutku egois, karena memuji diri sendiri. Sebaliknya memasukkan yang jelek-jelek saja akan menimbulkan suasana mental yang buruk bagi rakyatku sendiri. Hanya setelah mati dunia ini dapat menimbang dengan jujur, apakah Sukarno manusia yang baik ataukah manusia yang buruk? Hanya di saat itulah dia baru dapat diadili.”

“Beginning in 1519 and continuing until the end of his life, Luther expounded a theme that the Sacrament brings and means a fellowship of love and mercy: "This fellowship consists in this, that all the spiritual possessions of Christ and his saints are shared with and become the common property of him who receives this sacrament. Again all sufferings and sins also become common property; and thus love engenders love in return and [mutual love] unites . . . It is like a city where every citizen shares with all the others the city's name, honor, freedom, trade, customs, usages, help, support, protection, and the like, while at the same time he shares all the dangers of fire and flood, enemies and death, losses taxes and the like. For he who would share in the profits must also share in the costs, and ever recompense love with love . . ." For Luther, unity with respect to the Sacrament meant both doctrinal agreement and love. When the prerequisite to church fellowship is defined merely (however important!) in terms of doctrinal fellowship, it can end in a Platonic pursuit of a frigid and rigid mental ideal. Doctrinal unity, true unity in Christ's body and blood, is also a unity of deep love and mercy. If I will not lay down my burden on Christ and the community, or take up the burdens of others who come to the Table, then I should not go to the Sacrament. Close(d) Communion is also a fellowship of love and mercy with my brother and sister in Christ as Luther taught in the previous citation.”
