“I pitam se otkud ta strašna lakomislenost, kojom se, u mladosti, odlazi u stranu zemlju? Je li to zato, što nam se čini da je život dug i da ima vremena da se vratimo? ...To znači, očigledno, da je čoveku potrebno, da zna, da se nekud ne može više vratiti, pa da uvidi kako je tamo sretan bio.”

“The woman wanderer goes forth to seek the Land of Freedom.

“How am I to get there?” Reason answers: “here is one way, and one only. Down the banks of Labour, through the water of suffering. There is no other.”

The woman cries out: “For what do I go to this far land which no one has ever reached? Oh, I am alone! I am utterly alone!”

― Bekim Sejranović, Tvoj sin Huckleberry Finn
