"Most of what makes a book 'good' is that we are reading it at the right moment for us."

"You never know who you're inspiring or uninspiring. People notice more than you think."

"Weigh whatever you are about to say; what will it do to your hearer - encouragement, edification, disappointment or fear? What will it do to your life - glorify, edify, beautify or weigh you down? Speak well and things will go well."

"Literature is my Utopia"

"God is not a thief. That which steals, kills and destroys is the devil - not God!"

"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body."

"Every night I pray I whisper into a megaphone, not only so God is sure to hear, but also my neighbors, because I pray to God He’ll deliver pestilence and plague to the residents next door.

"Apa gunanya banyak baca bukuKalau mulut kau bungkam melulu"

"Great books make great being."

"A big book is like a serious relationship; it requires a commitment. Not only that, but there's no guarantee that you will enjoy it, or that it will have a happy ending. Kind of like going out with a girl, having to spend time every day with her - with absolutely no guarantee of nailing her in the end. No thanks."

"Quiet people have the loudest minds."
