What you need to play the game of power:
- A few thousand politicos to fool the masses
- A few thousand journalists to bullshit the masses
- A few thousand judges to protect the criminal system against arguments

“Pergilah, jelajahi dunia, lihatlah dan carilah kebenaran dan rahasia-rahasia hidup; niscaya jalan apapun yang kaupilih akan mengantarkanmu menuju titik awal. Sumber kebenaran dan rahasia hidup akan kautemukan di titik nol perjalananmu. Perjalanan panjangmu tidak akan mengantarmu ke ujung jalan, justru akan membawamu kembali ke titik permulaan.
Pergilah untuk kembali, mengembaralah untuk menemukan jalan pulang. Sejauh apapun kakimu melangkah, engkau pasti akan kembali ke titik awal.”
— Paulo Coelho, dalam “The Alchemist” (via pinguin-sakti)
One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like.
Muhammad Yunus
Each of us has much more hidden inside us than we have had a chance to explore. Unless we create an environment that enables us to discover the limits of our potential, we will never know what we have inside of us.
Muhammad Yunus
We create institutions and policies on the basis of the way we make assumptions about us and others. We accept the fact that we will always have poor people around us. So we have had poor people around us. If we had believed that poverty is unacceptable to us, and that it should not belong to a civilized society, we would have created appropriate institutions and policies to create a poverty-free world.
Muhammad Yunus
Each individual person is very important. Each person has tremendous potential. She or he alone can influence the lives of others within the communities, nations, within and beyond her or his own time.
Muhammad Yunus
