Beyond all sciences, philosophies, theologies, and histories, a child’s relentless inquiry is truly all it takes to remind us that we don’t know as much as we think we know.

It’s the living that turn and chase the dead. The long bones and skulls are tumbled from their shrouds, and words like stones thrust into their rattling mouths: we edit their writings, we rewrite their...

Humanism is the only – I would go so far as saying the final- resistance we have against the inhuman practices and injustices that disfigure human history.

There had been no crises of incident, or marked movements of experience such as in Felipe’s imaginations of love were essential to the fulness of its growth. This is a common mistake on the part...

Dunia Barat, mengapa kalian tidak pernah bisa menunjukkan simpati kalian kepada kami? Menunjukkan bahwa kalian sedikit menyukai kami? Kenapa kalian menendang tulang kering kani dan bukan menepuk bahu kami … sekali saja?!

Bagi orang Barat, memiliki isteri yang kedua tidak beradab, tidak pantas dan kejam sekali, tetapi apapun kekurangan dalam kehidupan rumah tanggamu sehingga engkau tertarik untuk membangun rumah tangga yang lain, jangan sampai mengorbankan anak-anak.
