“Border crossings in the Balkans, where bitter wars have been waged, were not regarded as pleasurable; in many places, they weren't even possible, and one avoided them. But, while riding in the droshky and later, when we dismounted, we saw the most luxuriant orchards and vegetable gardens, dark-violet eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, gigantic pumpkins and melons; I couldn't get over my amazement at all the different things that grew here. "That's what it's like here", said Mother, "a blessed land. And it's a civilized land, no one should be ashamed of being born here.”
― Elias Canetti, Die gerettete Zunge: Geschichte einer Jugend

“The difficult is what takes a little time. The impossible is what takes a little longer.”

“I'm guilty of giving people more chances than they deserve but when I'm done, I'm done.”
