“pagi itu sebuah buku sajak malaysia
seperti seorang perawan tersipu-sipu
di dalam pelukan seorang penyair kampung
yang kerdil dan terpencil

(sebuah buku sajak malaysia)”

They sparkle still the right Promethean fire;
They are the books, the arts, the academes,
That show, contain, and nourish all the world.”

Wakefield

To be courageous is to feel fear within, every step of the way.

- Cecilia Ahern, Flawed

Wakefield

Stop and take time to notice things and make those things you notice matter.

- Cecilia Ahern, Thanks for the Memories

Wakefield

Friendship, my definition, is built on two things : respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can have respect for someone, but if you don't have trust, the friendship will crumble.

- Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Wakefield

“If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!”

― Sarah Dessen, Keeping the Moon

Wakefield

“It's the people who seem weak who are always surprisingly strong, and the ones who seem strong who are unexpectedly weak.”

― Lisa Jewell, Ralph's Party

Wakefield

“If you love each other, whatever happens you can deal with it, you can work it out. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that it's really not much fun having an adventure with someone you're not in love with.”

― Lisa Jewell, Vince and Joy

Wakefield

“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater. The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”

― Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

Wakefield

“They say a woman marries a man with the belief she can change him, and she can’t.
A man marries a woman with the belief that she won’t change, and she does.”

― John Grisham, Gray Mountain
