“Skromni ljudi stidljivo plaču, znaju meru i u plakanju.
Mali ljudi ne plaču, već cmizdre, oni nemaju ni pravih muka, ni pravih suza.
Lako plaču samo zaboravni. Ima onih koji nikada ne plaču, koji čuvaju suze za svaki slučaj.
Malo je života za mnogo plakanja,
mnogo je plakanja za malo života”
― Dušan Radović

“Mi smo ničiji. Uvijek smo na nekoj međi, uvijek nečiji miraz. Vjekovima mi se tražimo i prepoznajemo, uskoro nećemo znati ko smo. Živimo na razmeđu svjetova, na granici naroda, uvijek krivi nekome. Na nama se lome talasi istorije kao na grebenu. Otrgnuti smo, a neprihvaćeni. Ko rukavac što ga je bujica odvojila od majke pa nema više ni toka, ni ušća, suviše malen da bude jezero, suviše velik da ga zemlja upije. Drugi nam čine čast da idemo pod njihovom zastavom jer svoju nemamo. Mame nas kad smo potrebni, a odbacuju kad odslužimo. Nesreća je što smo zavoljeli ovu svoju mrtvaju i nećemo iz nje, a sve se plaća pa i ova ljubav. Svako misli da će nadmudriti sve ostale i u tome je naša nesreća. Kakvi su ljudi Bosanci? To su najzamršeniji ljudi na svijetu, ni s kim se istorija nije tako pošalila kao sa Bosnom. Juče smo bili ono što danas želimo da zaboravimo, a nismo postali ni nešto drugo. S nejasnim osjećajem stida zbog krivice i otpadništva, nećemo da gledamo unazad, a nemamo kad da gledamo unaprijed. Zar smo mi slučajno tako pretjerano meki i surovi, raznježeni i tvrdi. Zar se slučajno zaklanjamo za ljubav kao jedinu izvjesnost u ovoj neodređenosti, zašto? Zato što nam nije svejedno. A kad nam nije svejedno znači da smo pošteni. A kad smo pošteni, svaka čast našoj ludosti !”
― Mesa Selimovic, Tvrđava

“Hiljadu nečijih srećnih časaka biće kao ovaj, ali ovaj nikada više. Hiljadu tuđih ljubavi biće kao ova, ali ova nikada više. Nikada: jedina konačnost. Prvi put znam šta je sreća, osjećam je, vidim, mirišem. Cio svijet i cijela vasiona, nas troje. Nikog drugog osim nas nema.”
― Mesa Selimovic

“ZAR NE VIDIŠ DA NI TO LICE NA TEBI NIJE TVOJE? POGLEDAJ NA BILO KOJU FRESKU ILI SLIKU PA ĆEŠ GA ZAČAS NAĆI. TEBI JE SAMO PRIVREMENO DATO NA ČUVANJE, DA GA MALO NOSIŠ, KAO TUĐ ŠEŠIR, PA ĆE OTIĆI DALJE. TO ISTO VREDI I ZA TVOJ GLAS I ZVIŽDUK. OSVRNI SE, UOSTALOM, NA SVOJU SENKU, TU NA ZIDU, KOJA JE RASLA I GOJILA SE S TOBOM. U NJU ĆEŠ JEDNOM LEĆI POSLEDNJI PUT I ONA ĆE TE NADŽIVETI.”
― Milorad Pavić

“And I'll dance with you in Vienna,
I'll be wearing a river's disguise.
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
my mouth on the dew of your thighs.
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
with the photographs there and the moss.
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty,
my cheap violin and my cross.”
― Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs

“Svako mora da ima upaljen fenjer u glavi. Da mu svetli danju i noću. Jer, ko ne svetli iznutra, taj ne živi; fenjer pomaže da bolje vidimo lica, predmete, šta se dogadja. On pomaže da odaberemo, nanižemo i svaku sitnicu povežemo u sliku, u pletivo; da u jednom životu otkrijemo sto drugih. Bez upaljenog fenjera nema ni reči; nema priče u kojoj život diše, jeca ili se razliva od miline”
― Borisav Stanković
