“Najbolje je zaboraviti, da umre ljudsko sjećanje na sve što je ružno, i da djeca ne pjevaju pjesme o osveti.”
― Meša Selimović, The Fortress

“But with superior morale, with an unwavering, fanatical spirit, everything is possible!”
― Timur Vermes, Er ist wieder da

“Now that mine is almost over, I can say that the one thing that struck me most about life is the capacity for change. One day you're a person and the next day they tell you you're a dog. At first it's hard to bear, but after a while you learn not to look at it as a loss. There's even a moment when it becomes exhilarating to realize just how little needs to stay the same for you to continue the effort they call, for lack of a better word, being human.”
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

“To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground
