Dia tahu, bahawa sultan dan pembesar negeri Melaka itu sudah maklum sejak tahun 1448, pasti Portugis akan datang kembali menyerang!

Maaf, Anda keliru alamat menamakan aku budak Belanda. Bagiku NICA hanya sarana seperti Republik bagi mereka sarana juga. Segala omong kosong tentang kemerdekaan itu slogan belaka yang menipu.

Please, he mouths. But I use it. “Until Meriam is bled dry, I will stay here.

You know, like a payment of sorts. I mean, we were ready to remain your friends, because blood magic.” She winks. “But we may have invited you to hang less.” I bark out another laugh and shake my head. “I’ll have you both know no trade was required. My sense of humor just needed a little dusting off after spending so much time underground. Didn’t have many people to be ridiculous with.

Soal bersatu sungguhpun beraneka ragam bukanlah soal yang asing bagi agama termasuk dalam Islam. Antara agama dan kebudayaan terdapat interaksi, keadaan saling pengaruh mempengaruhi.

"It is all very well to protest that because you have seen a horse ridden, you know how to ride. But you don't know how to ride until you have yourself ridden. Isn't that true?"
