“They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard...
No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man.”

“I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.”

“Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.”

“Love has never been a popular movement. And no one's ever wanted, really, to be free. The world is held together, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people. Otherwise, of course, you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you've got to remember is what you're looking at is also you. Everyone you're looking at is also you. You could be that person. You could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide, in yourself, not to be.”

“Tada uzmem od fabrike nekoliko dana neplaćenog odsustva - i oni su na to navikli, pa mi više ne prave pitanje - i sednem u kola, pa po tri dana i tri noći vozim kao lud. Tek kad dođem do austrijske i naše
granice, zaustavim se. I, polako, predjem preko
granice. Tada udjem u Ljubljanu, ili u Celje ili Maribor - niže da idem nemam hrabrosti: o
Beogradu da vam i ne pričam - zastanem i parkiram se pored trotoara. I tako ostanem u
kolima. Spustim prozore, gledam oko sebe i - slušam. I, verujte, Slovenci sasvim dobro
žvalave po naški, ništa se ne razlikuju.
I tako, ne izlazeći iz kola, presedim po pola sata, ili sat ili dva.
Onda polako krenem natrag.”
