Hidup Quote by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
““Barang siapa mempunyai sumbangan pada kemanusian dia tetap terhormat sepanjang jaman, bukan kehormatan sementara. Mungkin orang itu tidak mendapatkan sesuatu sukses dalam hidupnya, mungkin dia tidak mempunyai sahabat, mungkin tak mempunyai kekuasaan barang secuwil pun. Namun umat manusia akan menghormati karena jasa-jasanya.””
