“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don’t get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can’t do anything, don’t get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it’s ready to come undone. You have to realize it’s going to be along process and that you’ll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

“We didn’t try to force God’s hand or do the “I just heard a sermon about David and Goliath so I need to quit my job right this second” leap of faith that’s so popular in Christian circles. We took our time with the decision, like another guy in the Bible, named Jesus. He spent thirty years in obscurity before he started his adventure. Often, we’re not willing to spend thirty minutes in preparation, never mind thirty years, especially when we come home from a conference and find our day jobs waiting for us on Monday morning. I’m not sure why Christians sometimes think the maturation of our own missions will be radically shorter than that of Jesus. But it happens and in the past I’ve certainly wanted to take wild, unplanned, possibly-not-inspired-by-God leaps of faith.”

“I hope you’re pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed – or worse, expelled. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to bed.”

“Oh, monsters are scared. That’s why they’re monsters. And as for grown-ups…I’m going to tell you something important. Grown-ups don’t look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they’re big and thoughtless and they always know what they’re doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. The truth is, there aren’t any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”

“Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back.”

“Zaman sudah berubah. Perdagangan bukan lagi sebatas Hindia, melainkan sampai ke Eropa dan seluruh dunia. Saudara sudah melihat orang-orang dengan beragam warna kulit berjalan-jalan di atas mobil di sekeliling kita. Karena itu tenaga kasar yang dibayar murah lama-lama akan tersisih. Jadi, kalau Saudara ingin bersaing dan mendapatkan sesuatu yang lebih baik, Saudara harus melatih otot lainnya, yang terletak di antara kedua telinga Saudara!”

“Negosiasi yang diimpit rasa rendah diri hanya berujung pada kekalahan.”

“Stories serve multiple purposes. At a basic level they are great entertainment, which is essential for living a happy and healthy life, but on a deeper level stories help us explore issues that are otherwise difficult to address. On one hand a good book helps us escape our troubles, and on the other hand it can help us face up to those troubles by bringing real issues to the fore, often in a more manageable way, since the problems are experienced vicariously through the eyes of another.”

“On your life journey, the worst thing you can do, is to do nothing.”

“What if you could pick one day of your life, and everything would stop changing, every day would be similar and comparable to that one day, you’d always have the same people with you? If you could do that, would you do it? Would you pick that day and make that choice? We crave for things to stop changing, we wish that things would never change. But if we got what we wanted, there are so many things that are better, that we would never, ever know about. Sure, things would stay the same as that one wonderful day, but then there would be nothing else out there, ever. So can you remember the very first day when everything really did begin to change? Is there a thing that can remind you? Mine is a blue rose, and that’s when everything began to change because that’s the day I began to believe in things I never believed in before; the day I found three blue roses. Think about your first day of change, can you remember all the new heights you’ve soared since that day? All the new people? All the better things and times? Would you throw all of that time away? I wouldn’t. Instead, I want to finally accept all the things that I couldn’t change, which led to me being right here, right now. Maybe we all carry around inside us one day we wish we could keep forever, something we wished never did change. It’s time to let go of that day, and soar.”

“The way to write is to throw your body at the mark when your arrows are spent.”
