Quotes by Iwan Simatupang (?)

“Penglihatan saya sehari-hari di lapangan pekerjaan saya yang kini mengatakan kepada saya bahwa harta dan kekayaan berhenti mempunyai arti persis pada tembok-tembok luar dari setiap pekuburan. Selanjutnya, filsafat murni hanya didapat pada suasana di sebelah dalam dari tembok-tembok itu.”
― Iwan Simatupang, Ziarah: Sebuah Novel
