“Izdržljivost?
To je kad mi je gadno, teško, kada nije onako kako bih hteo, ali moram, i onda mogu. I samo da izdržim, ništa drugo. I onda radim sklekove, trbušnjake, cupkam na tabanima, grickam šibice, pljuckam ih u dalj, obaram rekorde. Nekako se nauče te stvari, vežbe ya izdržavanje. Kao u zatvoru, učionici, bolnici, bilo gde. Gledaš u zid, proučavaš mu reljef.
Šibaj dalje, Jakobe.”

“What I could really use is an older man. A mentor. One who could tell me how things fit together.
He would have asked me to do chores that I felt were meaningless. I would have been impatient and protested, but done them nonetheless. And eventually, after several months of hard labour, I would have realised that there was a deeper meaning behind it all, and that the master had a cunning plan all the time.”
