    Ivo Andrić
    “Tako obično biva. Oni koje želimo da vidimo ne dolaze u časovima kad na njih mislimo i kad ih najviše očekujemo, a pojavljuju se u nekom trenutku kad smo mislima najdalje od njih. I našoj radosti zbog ponovnog viđenja tada treba malo vremena da se digne s dna, gde je potisnuta, i pojavi na površini.”

    Goran Tribuson
    “Jer, ako je književnost bolest, onda je ta bolest trajna, kronična i naprosto neizlječiva. Baš kad vam se učini da ste se izliječili, jave se recidivi prouzročeni nekim nuzgrednim povodom: šarenim ovitkom u izlogu, mirisom štamparske boje, glatkoćom bezdrvnog papira i slično. Uz to što je kronična, ta je bolest pomalo i endemična, jer pandemijama obiluju drugi žanrovi: televizija, moda, ples i trač.”
