Humankind is able to create new conditions, a new reality. We are not fated to swim forever among the realities that are here now. ... Everything that is worthwhile in human civilization has not only originated from but has been inspired by dreams, by imagination.
Pramoedya Ananta ToerEvery good teaching may still end up producing evil bandits who have no principles whatsoever, an outcome even more likely when the teacher is also a bandit.
Pramoedya Ananta ToerI did not succeed in everything I did. And even where it did seem I was succeeding it was not always the case. The human heart has a million facets.
