Truth is always in future tense, while kindness is in present tense.
And truth is like ozone...you have to keep it there up in the atmosphere, because if it mingles with the air we breathe, it'll poison it and becomes a killer.
————摘自印尼小说"Bilangan Fu"(The Numeral Fu) by Ayu Utami
精辟了...所以，不要为了真理而失去好心，因为真正的真理是什么，我们这一生肯定是探讨不完的

To love another person is to see the face of God
————摘自Les Miserables(悲惨世界)音乐剧，Valjean's Death
简单，但是深刻。天堂并不仅仅是死后的事儿，我们这地球上其实就可以变成天堂

Good and Evil actually may have the same face.
Evil must appear in order to manifest goodness in contrast with it.
————摘自The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho
什么是好人坏人的定义？所谓的好人也会做出坏事。所谓的坏人也会做出好事。说起来，我们人都是灰色的，没什么好人坏人之分。

来写写我的新短篇"纸蝴蝶"的引子：
Kupu-kupu kertas, terpantul di sisi gelas
纸蝴蝶慢慢飞翔，飞向苍白的月亮
Demikian rapuh sang kupu, tatkala luruh aku tersedu
蝴蝶疲劳而放弃，在床边默默哭泣
Sayapnya putus dan layu, jatuh di atas wajahmu sayu
蝴蝶梦想全枯萎，如被遗忘的眼泪

We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve
Just live, just live
And give all that I have
And take what little I deserve
——————摘自"真爱不死"中的Once Upon Another Time和Finale
什么是爱？记得以前我的高中老师说过，"爱"的印尼文就是"kasih",而kasih的本意是什么？就是"给"。真正的爱就是懂得"给"的爱，而不只懂"要"。

Why does wickedness happen?
Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?
-------------摘自音乐剧《Wicked》，"No One Mourns the Wicked"
所谓的坏人，是以什么标准定出来的？我们怎么知道这个标准就是对的呢？谁定出这个标准？又是谁监督定标准的人们？
世界真的不像我们想象的那么简单。
