“Kad naiđu teška, mutna vremena i učestaju sukobi i uzbune među ljudima, otvori se odjednom Biblija na njenim najtamnijim stranicama i naš užas ili naše nerazumevanje nađu drevne i poznate reči kao jedini izraz.
Gledajući vojnike i žandarme koji su do malopre bili i ubijali, video sam im u očima, duboko ispod spoljnjeg besa i drskosti, jedva primetno kolebanje u kom je bilo i životinjskog straha i neke želje da se ne bude na tom mestu ni u tom obliku. U tom drhtanju u dnu zenica pročitao sam odjednom jasan i nesumnjiv jadni, strašni i detinjski Kainov odgovor: - Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?”
― Ivo Andrić, Znakovi pored puta
