As hard as my life has been I have no desire for revenge. If I wish for anything it is for all the things that have been stolen from my life to be returned to me.
Pramoedya Ananta Toer
There is at least one advantage to being an Indonesian citizen: With this country's expanse of land and even greater expanse of sea, it's not difficult finding space for one's grave.
Pramoedya Ananta Toer
A mother knows what her child's gone through, even if she didn't see it herself.
Pramoedya Ananta Toer
Animals are not supposed to have the power to reason and therefore don't care whether there is life after death.

Pramoedya Ananta Toer
People must be just and fair, starting with what they thought.
Pramoedya Ananta Toer

Pramoedya Ananta Toer
