"Never trust a man who carries a handkerchief, I always say. One of many prejudicial rules of thumb."

Next Quote

I will not close my eyes, neither those in my head nor those in my soul, as the ship carries me away, along with my future, my dreams, and my beliefs. Buru Island is no happy land somewhere; it's but a way station on my journey in life—though to believe even that much will require no small measure of hope.

— Pramoedya Ananta Toer
