What a breakable and delicate thing a heart was, no wonder I’d kept mine locked away. ”

“ Tuhan kan nggak mungkin langsung sedekah ke orangorang, ya kalianlah sedekah duit kalau punya duit, sedekah ilmu, sedekah senyum. Masa sih kalau sudah gitu Tuhan gak bales cintamu?

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. ”
