This in one of the site that i often visit from time to time.
A combination of two things that i favor the most, creative illustrations and great words.
The quotes was taken from many famous people of the world.
Reading the quotes are like having someone giving you advice about almost all aspect in life, love, family, friendship, even about our career, all in a more fun ways than just read a collection of quotes in regular book.
You can see and feel the words are alive in each illustration he made.
Each page is a motivation on many subject, such as staying true to your heart, embracing your freedom, keeping your spirit up, reminding you of good value in life, encouraging you to pursue your dreams, making you passionate for better living, doing something great, enjoying each and every moments of your life, and many more.
Mostly the quotes are about dream, courage, kindness, peace, art, taking chances, life to fullest, breaking through, hard work, struggle, and most important is about happiness.
In the end this site want to teach and share something so we could see things differently with better perception.

Clarity

" Cause you are the piece of me, I wish I didn’t need

Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don’t know why

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?

If our love’s insanity, why are you my clarity? "

Zedd ft. Foxes - Clarity

I'm in love (again)

Today i found something that make me fall in love again..
No, it is not a person. It is word.
I'm in love with how beautiful they stood next to each other and dance in a sentence.
And how the sentences make a magical performance.
As i was watching the most spectacular show.
A smile rise in my face, my heart is overwhelmed by this feeling.
I'm deeply in love and fascinated by how wonderful it could be.
No standing applause can feed and satisfy my desire.
I need to tell the whole world.
I need to share this love.
I'm in love.. I'm madly falling in love..
Read this, and be in love with me..

surat cinta yang ganjil

1. cintaku yang besar, cintaku yang tulus,
 2. telah hilang, menguap, dan kini rasa benciku
 3. berkembang setiap hari. ketika melihatmu,
 4. aku tak ingin lagi melihat wajahmu sedikitpun;
 5. satu hal yang sungguh ingin aku lakukan adalah
 6. mengalihkan mata ke gadis lain. aku tak lagi mau
 7. menikahkan aku-kau. percakapan terakhir kita
 8. sungguh, sungguh amat membosankan dan tak
 9. membuat aku ingin bertemu kau sekali lagi.
 10. selama ini, kau selalu memikirkan diri sendiri.
 11. jika kita menikah, aku tahu aku akan menemu
 12. hidupku jadi sulit, dan kita tak akan menemu
 13. bahagia hidup bersama. aku punya satu hati
 14. untuk kuberikan, tapi itu bukan sesuatu
 15. yang ingin aku beri buatmu. tiada yang lebih
 16. bodoh dan egois dari kau, kau tak pernah
 17. memerhatikan, merawat dan mengerti aku.
 18. aku sungguh berharap kau mau mengerti
 19. aku berkata jujur. kau akan baik sekali jika
 20. kau anggap inilah akhirnya. tidak perlulah
 21. membalas surat ini. surat-suratmu dipenuhi
 22. hal-hal tak menarik bagiku. kau tak punya
 23. cinta yang tulus. sampai jumpa. percayalah,
 24. aku tak peduli padamu. jangan pernah berpikir
 25. aku masih dan akan terus menjadi kekasihmu.

catatan:
 tiap baris surat ini sengaja diberi angka, agar kau
 bisa membedakan baris ganjil dan baris genap.
 baca baris-baris ganjil saja, hapus baris selebihnya.
 sesungguhnya, ini sehelai surat cinta yang ganjil.

Take from his blog : http://hurufkecil.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/puisi-puisi-cinta-ini-berharap-bisa-memeluk-kamu-segera/

There is tons of other great work from him.
I know him first time from his short story "Di Tempatmu Berbaring Sekarang" in "Dari Datuk ke Sakura Emas". And later i found his book "Kukila", and today as searching for inspiration i don't know how, i stumble upon his page
http://hurufkecil.wordpress.com.
And i can not get myself back into work.
For the rest of my day, i was lost in his wor(l)d.
And this specific piece of art "Surat Cinta yang Ganjil" is the one that captivated my heart the most.
Thank you Mr. Aan Mansyur for making my day better and full of love today!
