Pernahkah...

/Pernahkah kamu menangis tanpa ada air mata yang mengalir?
Pernahkah kamu berteriak tanpa ada kata-kata yang terdengar?
Pernahkah kamu sakit tanpa tahu apa yang menyakitkan, karena semuanya terasa menyakitkan?
Dan tanpa tahu dimana yang sakit karena kamu sudah kesakitan hingga mati rasa?
Pernahkah kamu mengucapkan suatu kata yang bertahun-tahun lalu begitu akrab denganmu, tapi sekarang terasa begitu asing?
Sebuah kata yang dulu memberikan banyak jawaban, tapi kini mengundang banyak pertanyaan?
Pernahkah kamu merasa sangat sedih, seakan-akan kesedihan itu memakan semua organ dalammu?

Aku benci mereka membenciku.

The wisdom of something

Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
The law often permits what honor prohibits.
A hero is a man who is afraid to run away.
An ugly sight, a man who is afraid.
Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on.
Reason can wrestle and overthrow terror.
Many lick before they bite.
Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.
Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.
It can never be bought or borrowed or sold: A gift to be cherished, true friendship is a treasure beyond compare.
I have a higher and grander standard of principle than Alexander the Great. He could not lie. I can, but I won t.
The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
