Cinta Quote by Ehsan Abdul Kudus
““Sesungguhnya cinta, seni dan imaginasi bukanlah kerjaya orang kaya. Orang kaya mengubah cinta menjadi wang, mengubah seni menjadi wang, mengubah imaginasi menjadi wang. Orang kaya hanya menikmati satu kerjaya sahaja iaitu: menjadi orang kaya. Cinta, seni dan imaginasi ialah kerjaya orang miskin!””
