“Fifty grand for a paper bucket? Well it was all about context, you see.”
― The Hungry Wolves of Van Diemen's Land

“I am not one of those who left the land
to the mercy of its enemies.
Their flattery leaves me cold,
my songs are not for them to praise.
But I pity the exile's lot.
Like a felon, like a man half-dead,
dark is your path, wanderer;
wormwood infects your foreign bread.
But here, in the murk of conflagration,
where scarcely a friend is left to know,
we, the survivors, do not flinch
from anything, not from a single blow.
Surely the reckoning will be made
after the passing of this cloud.
We are the people without tears,
straighter than you...more proud...”

“Najvećim delom sveta danas krekeću pare,
Umesto plodnih njiva dremaju smrdljive bare;
Najvećim delom sveta danas su jedino siti
Hulje i paraziti.
Ostali narod je pesak,
O njemu ne vode brigu;
Vetar goni,
Pa se pita,
Pa se pita,
Ko te pita!”
― Podvizi družine "Pet petlića"

“At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”
So you were born to feel “nice”? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?
You don’t love yourself enough. Or you’d love your nature too, and what it demands of you.”
― Meditations
