    Jeanette Winterson
    “Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.”

    Vasko Popa
    “Neko bude ružino drvo
    Neki budu vetrove kćeri
    Neki ružokradice

    Ružokradice se privuku ružinom drvetu
    Jedan od njih ukrade ružu
    U srce je svoje sakrije

    Vetrove se kćeri pojave
    Ugledaju obranu lepotu
    I pojure ružokradice

    Otvaraju im grudi jednom po jednom
    U nekoga nadju srce
    U nekoga bogami ne

    Otvaraju im otvaraju grudi
    Sve dok u jednog srce ne otkriju
    I u srcu ukradenu ružu”
