My Favorite Things
"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely, miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing"
- Agatha Christie, 1890-1976

“This week I’ve been reading a lot and doing little work. That’s the way things ought to be. That’s surely the road to success.” — Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Quote reblogged from Book Mania!I’m always amazed at friends who say they try to read at night in bed but always end up falling asleep. I have the opposite problem. If a book is good I can’t go to sleep, and stay up way past my bedtime, hooked on the writing. Is anything better than waking up after a late-night read and diving right back into the plot before you even get out of bed to brush your teeth?John Walters, Role Models (via bookmania)

Quote reblogged from Book Mania!Like the way the sun is right now, with the long shadows, and that kind of bright, soft light you get when the sun isn’t quite setting? That’s the light that makes everything better, everything prettier, and today, everything just seemed to be in that light.John Green, Looking for Alaska (via bookmania)

Wah, sudah lama tidak membuat post di Tumblr. Kegalauan TA, seminar dan sidang sedang menyerang orang-orang di sekitar saya. Sayangnya saya belum bisa ikut dalam euforia tersebut. “Saya sih Oktober banget, Pak”, kalimat itu yang saya ucapkan pada dosen pembimbing saya. Spontan orang yang mendengar kalimat tersebut tertawa (walau saya tidak mengerti apa yang lucu dari kalimat tersebut). Semangat!
