Larasati Quote by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
““Seluruh kedudukan enak diambil orang-orang tua. Mereka hanya pandai korupsi. Rencana-rencanaku kandas di laci-laci. Angkatan tua itu sungguh bobrok! Setiap republiken mestinya republikein sejati. Satu kesalahan bisa membuat dia jadi khianat tanpa maunya sendiri.””
