Bebas! Penyuntingan berkarya … Penyuntingan diri kerana takut gagal, atau kerana berani berjaya; Penyuntingan penaja ataupun penyelaras, Penyuntingan kerajaan; Penyuntingan adab, Penyuntingan kerana maruah, kerana agama bangsa; Tapi Tuhan nampak segala yang ada di dalam hati … So jangan tertekan oleh saudara seperjuangan; Jangan berdiam … Bebas! Kerana yang di dalam adalah apa yang ada!
