Olivera

“Well, if my heart must break,
Dear love, for your sake,
It will break in music, I know,
Poets' hearts break so.

But strange that I was not told
That the brain can hold
In a tiny ivory cell
God's heaven and hell.


(From "Roses And Rue")”
― Oscar Wilde, Selected Poems

“Memento mori,” the monarch whispered. “Remember death. Even for those who wield great power, life is brief. There is only one way to triumph over death, and that is by making our lives masterpieces. We must seize every opportunity to show kindness and to love fully. I see in your eyes that you have your mother’s generous soul. Your conscience will be your guide. When life is dark, let your heart show you the way.”
― Dan Brown, Origin

“satkah te noćas od sitne usamljenosti
dadoh ti ime i prekrih te bojom
u tebe odjenuh svu drskost mladosti
i sjenu ti dadoh, i nazvah te svojom
ni časak stvarnosti u tvom postojanju
ni jedna požuda spuštena uz tijelo
ničeg što misao tjera nedostajanju
ni dašak smrtnosti, ni sjećanje bijelo
tobom sagradih sve moje ludosti
neuhvatnu čežnju i dalekost sreće
sakrih postojanje od svijeta vanjskosti
i jedan život nekuda kreće”
― Adis Ahmethodžić

“Dvije su stvari smetnja za dobre odnose među ljudima: neobaviještenost i nepovjerenje. Neobaviještenost dopušta proizvoljne sudove, nepovjerenje unaprijed kopa jaz.”
― Meša Selimović, Djevojka crvene kose
