“We couldn't imagine the emptiness of a creature who put a razor to her wrists and opened her veins, the emptiness and the calm.”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

“Uvek su nas učili da budemo poltroni. U svakom totalitarizmu oni pognutih glava doguraju lako do najviših mesta, a teško onima čija kičma neće da se povija. Oni koji se ulaguju, tužakaju u školi svoje drugare, kasnije kad odrastu, dodvoravaju se moćnicima, potkazuju i cinkare i tako idu napred. Takvi su nas onda vode i dovedu do ovoga do čega su nas doveli. Stvaranje negativne selekcije urušava celo društvo iz korena.”
― Olivera Katarina, Aristokratsko stopalo

“In the end, it wasn't death that surprised her but the stubbornness of life.”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides
