Sanja

“Često sjedim sate i sate i gledam u hladne jesenje boje.
Mir sudbine koja se više ne da promijeniti ledi mi se na duši i licu. Sve je u meni mrtvo; tako mi je dobro. Ne dopire do mene zvuk, umro mi je očinji vid.
Sve je ostalo za velikom kapijom koja se zatvorila muklo za mnom. Izgubio sam sve i nisam više čovjek nego nemirna besana misao koja je potonula i prićutala se na dubokom dnu, a nada mnom su kao neprozirne zelene mase voda, mir, daljina i zaborav”
― Ivo Andrić, Ex Ponto, Nemiri, Lirika

“XXIX

You have set me among those who are defeated.

I know it is not for me to win, nor to leave the game.

I shall plunge into the pool although but to sink to the bottom.

I shall play the game of my undoing.

I shall stake all I have and when I lose my last penny I shall stake myself, and then I think I shall have won through my utter defeat.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Fruit-Gathering

“there must be a way.

surely there must be a way that we have not yet
thought of.

who put this brain inside of me?

it cries
it demands
it says that there is a chance.

it will not say
"no.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

“All I know is there’s no changing yesterday. You can only look to do better tomorrow.”
― Joe Abercrombie, Half a War
