Chairil Anwar

"Sekali berarti Sudah itu mati."

"Ah! hatiku jang tak mau memberi Mampus kau dikojak-kojak sepi."

"Aku mau hidup seribu tahun lagi."

"Bukan maksudku mau berbagi nasib, nasib adalah kesunjian masing-masing."

"Cinta adalah bahaya yang lekas jadi pudar."

"[Anwar was] a thin, pale youngster, careless of his appearance. His eyes were red, and very wild, but they always appeared thoughtful; his movements were slow, as if utterly indifferent. ... In his ideals, in his movements, and in his actions themselves, he stabbed, cut and smashed old notions, leading some of his friends to think him ignorant, unaware of custom, a kind of bandit, characterizations he himself thought an honor and necessary in order to influence his slower friends into revolutionary ways."
