“Cinta sejati adalah perbuatan. Dengan demikian,ingat baik baik, kau selalu bisa memberi tanpa sedikitpun rasa cinta. Tetapi kau tidak akan pernah bisa mencintai tanpa selalu memberi.”
Tere Liye, Kau, Aku & Sepucuk Angpau Merah

“Cinta sejati selalu menemukan jalan, Borno. Ada saja kebetulan, nasib, takdir, atau apalah sebutannya. Tapi sayangnya, orang-orang yang mengaku sedang dirudung cinta justru sebaliknya, selalu memaksakan jalan cerita, khawatir, cemas, serta berbagai perangai norak lainnya. Tidak usahlah kau gulana, wajah kusut. Jika berjodoh, Tuhan sendiri yang akan memberikan jalan baiknya.”
