Inspirational Quote by Anonymous
““Barangkali karena sebagian kebahagiaan tak bisa diulang, kita menjadi pecinta rekaman, pengagum kenangan. Barangkali karena kita tak punya kuasa memaku waktu, kita mengenang keindahan yang kita jumpai dalam gambar-gambar, dalam kata-kata - rentetan aksara yang bisa kapan saja kita baca. Maka jangan salahkan siapa-siapa bila diam-diam aku menyimpan gambarmu. Jangan salahkan siapa-siapa bila terlalu banyak sirat namamu dalam puisi-puisiku.””
