“The incalculable Up-and-Down of Time.”

“We spent too much damn time getting down. Now it’s time to get up.”

“To everything there is a season. Yes. A time to break down, and a time to build up. Yes. A time to keep silence and a time to speak. Yes.”

“If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.”

“It takes as much time and trouble to pull down a falsehood as to build up a truth.”

“There are times when the price of vegetables, sawi (mustard greens) and kangkung (water convolvulus) goes up and there are times it comes down. I read in the newspaper that some prices have come down. Kangkung price once went up and now it is down. When the prices come down, why are there no praises for the government? When it goes up, the government gets the blame. This is unfair because (such issues are determined by) the weather conditions.”

“and I try
to draw the line
but it ends up running down the middle of me
most of the time.”

“Up and down, up and down
I will lead them up and down
I am feared in field in town
Goblin, lead them up and down”

“When the moon comes up, I go down
For the first time
There’s a garden deep, deep in my heart
But it’s blossomed for the last time”

“It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down.”
