“Sebagai orang tua, saya merasa, setiap pertanyaan anak adalah sebuah “teaching moments”. Itu adalah kesempatan saya untuk mengajarkan atau menjelaskan dengan pandangan yang positif. Walaupun menjelaskan polisi dengan pandangan positif, dengan latar belakang interaksi saya dengan polisi sewaktu membuat SIM, membayar pajak STNK dan sewaktu ditilang, adalah salah satu hal yang agak sulit.”

“Sebagaimana yang dikatakan tadi pintu-pintu yang terbuka untuk dimasuki oleh syaitan ke dalam hati adalah sangat banyak. Tetapi pintu untuk dimasuki oleh malaikat hanyalah sebuah sahaja. Sungguhpun demikian manusia masih terus terkeliru bila bedepan dengan pintu-pintu tersebut. Ianaya adalah sepeti seorang musafir yang sedang berada di tengah-tengah padang pasir yang mempunyai banyak jalan yang berliku-liku di tengah-tengah malam yang gelap gelita. Ia hanya dapat mengesan jalannya melalui mata hati dan terbitan matahari dengan sinarannya yang terang-benderang. Mata hati di sini ialah hati yang putih bersih bersalut taqwa, dan matahari yang terang-benderang ialah ilmu pengetahuan yang banyak diperolehi dari Al-Quran dan sunnah Rasulullah SAW yang mana memberinya petunjuk dan memimpinnya ke arah jalan lurus yang patut diikutinya.”

“Sebagian besar pengetahun kita agaknya memang tidak berdasar pada penalaran ataupun eksperimen, melainkan, pada otoritas. Dan ketika segala gelar disebut dan stempel keahlian diterakan, ilmupun tak lagi dilihat sebagai proses, melainkan sabda. Kekuasaannya semakin besar, maka semakin besar pula kemungkinannya untuk menggampangkan, memendekkan, menjustai. Kemudian lahirlah tahayul.”

“Sebastian encountered Cam in the hallway outside the reading room. “Where is he?” he demanded without preamble. Stopping before him with an expressionless face, Cam said shortly, “He’s gone.” “Why didn’t you follow him?” White-hot fury blazed in Sebastian’s eyes. This news, added to the frustration of his vow of celibacy, was the last straw. Cam, who had been exposed to years of Ivo Jenner’s volcanic temper, remained unruffled. “It was unnecessary in my judgment,” he said. “He won’t return.” “I don’t pay you to act on your own damned judgment. I pay you to act on mine! You should have dragged him here by the throat and then let me decide what was to be done with the bastard.” Cam remained silent, sliding a quick, subtle glance at Evie, who was inwardly relieved by the turn of events. They were both aware that had Cam brought Bullard back to the club, there was a distinct possibility that Sebastian might actually have killed him— and the last thing Evie wanted was a murder charge on her husband’s head. “I want him found,” Sebastian said vehemently, pacing back and forth across the reading room. “I want at least two men hired to look for him day and night until he is brought to me. I swear he’ll serve as an example to anyone who even thinks of lifting a finger against my wife.” He raised his arm and pointed to the doorway. “Bring me a list of names within the hour. The best detectives available— private ones. I don’t want some idiot from the New Police, who’ll foul this up as they do everything else. Go.” Though Cam undoubtedly had a few opinions to offer on the matter, he kept them to himself. “Yes, my lord.” He left the room at once, while Sebastian glared after him. Seeking to calm his seething temper, Evie ventured, “There is no need to take your anger out on Cam. He—” “Don’t even try to excuse him,” Sebastian said darkly. “You and I both know that he could have caught that damned gutter rat had he wanted to. And I’ll be damned if I’ll tolerate your calling him by his first name— he is not your brother, nor is he a friend. He’s an employee, and you’ll refer to him as ‘Mr. Rohan’ from now on.” “He is my friend,” Evie replied in outrage. “He has been for years!” “Married women don’t have friendships with young unmarried men.” “Y-you dare to insult my honor with the implication that… that…” Evie could hardly speak for the multitude of protests that jammed inside her. “I’ve done nothing to merit such a lack of tr-tr-trust!” “I trust you. It’s everyone else that I hold in suspicion.”

“Sebastian just smiled. “I could hear your heart beating,” he said softly. “When you were watching me with Valentine. Did it bother you?” “That you seem to be dating my dad?” Jace shrugged. "You’re a little young for him, to be honest.” “What?” For the first time since Jace had met him, Sebastian seemed flabbergasted.”

“Sebastian looked alarmed at her stiffness, but Eric took it in and chuckled. "Riding astride would have been easier," he said. "You put twice the strain on yourself with that unnatural position." "Oh, I know," she replied with a grimace. "Every muscle told me about it this morning, and I actually DID have a hot soak before I went to bed." Sebastian looked blankly at the two of them for a moment, then blinked and looked relieved. "Oh, you're saddle sore! I'm sorry--”

“Sebbene uno scenario monopolista potrebbe non essere augurabile, è innegabile che il traveler’s journey, a oggi, sia quantomeno frammentario e dispersivo. Poter iniziare la ricerca, usufruire dei contenuti, finalizzare la prenotazione aerea e alberghiera e ricevere assistenza sulla destinazione senza mai uscire dall’ecosistema Google sarebbe un miglioramento esponenziale in termini di user experience.”

“Sebelum membaca Zorba, pepohonan di jalanan hanyalah kumpulan daun dan ranting tak Bernama. Tapi setelah membacanya, dia memberi pepohonan itu nama-nama berdasarkan engetahuan barunya: pohon tin liar, tamariska, semak alang-alang, dan tanaman Verbascum. Alam tercipta ulang di hadapannya, seolah-olah Big Bang baru terjadi dan dialah manusia pertama yang bertugas menamai benda-benda.”

“Sebenarnya start-up kayak kita kan ‘hidup segan, mati tak mau’. Kalau nggak ada pemasok dana, mana bisa ritme kerja kayak gini bikin bahagia padahal gajian telat mulu? Gue sih bisa aja punya sense of ownership tinggi karena berhasil mewu- judkan cita-cita perusahaan. Tapi, kalau nggak gajian, ya gue bisa kelaparan juga,” lanjut Yongki lagi.”
