"What sucks about being human is you have to explain your life choices to everyone. It's like their god-given right to know.

Snacking on human bone is ten millions times more delicious!""

— Keara dalam Antologi Rasa

"...in the end, you just gotta pick your happiness. ... . Kalau lo terlahir sebagai anjing, jenis kebahagiaan yang bisa lo nikmati itu bisa jadi sepotong tulang, semangkuk Pedigree, lari-lari ngejar bola di taman, digaruk-garuk perut lo sama pemilik lo, ngejar-ngejar tukang pos, gigitin sepatu. Sebagai manusia, Key, lebih spesifiknya lagi sebagai perempuan tipe-tipe gue dan lo gini, kebahagiaan yang bisa kita pilih itu banyak banget. Some come with names, some come with colors, some come with sizes... . Tapi seperti yang gue bilang, in the end, you gotta pick you happiness. Satu hal yang bukan cuma bisa bikin lo bahagia, dan kalau satu hal itu nggak ada, hal-hal lain yang ada di hidup lo nggak ada artinya."

— Dinda dalam Antologi Rasa

— Keara dalam Antologi Rasa, quoted from Oh The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss

adil kan?
