“Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

“Nikad ne molim Boga da me poštedi nevolja, već samo da me poštedi očaja. Ne gubi povjerenje: kada te Svevišnji ispusti iz jedne ruke, uhvati te drugom.”
― Amin Maalouf, Leo Africanus

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
― Helen Keller

“Dugotrajno robovanje i rdjava uprava mogu toliko zbuniti i unakaziti shvatanje jednog naroda da zdrav razum i prav sud njemu otančaju i oslabe, da se potpuno izvitopere. Takav poremećen narod ne može više da razlikuje ne samo dobro od zla, nego i svoju sopstvenu korist od očigledne štete.”
― Ivo Andric
