History Quote by Cindy Adams
““Aku bagai seekor burung elang yang dipotong sayapnya. Setiap kali Inggit memandangiku, setiap kali pula darah menetes dari urat darahnya. Memang terasa lebih berat melihat orang yang kau cintai menghadapi penderitaan daripada bila kau mengalami sendiri penderitaan itu.””
