Tapi anehnya, kebanyakan orang-orang yang niru budaya Barat itu suka serba tanggung. Nirunya separo-separo. Budaya pupnya, ditiru. Budaya kumpul kebonya, ditiru. Budaya makan junk food-nya, ditiru. Budaya mabok-mabokannya, ditiru. Tapi pas giliran budaya tertibnya, ga ditiru. Budaya disiplinnya, ga ditiru. Termasuk budaya kerja kerasnya, ga ditiru. Ini payah namanya. Sok kebarat-baratan. ↗

I haven't got the kind of discipline where I can turn my emotion inside out and then just switch off. It affects me fairly profoundly and I don't like putting myself through that kind of mincer every day. ↗

To be a writer you have to be out in the world, you have to risk yourself in the world, you have to be immersed in the world, you have to go out looking for it. This becomes harder as you get older because there's less energy, the days are shorter for older people and it's not so easy to go out and immerse oneself in the world outside. ↗

— V. S. Naipaul
