“Everyone goes through a period of Traviamento - when we take, say, a different turn in life, the other via. Dante himself did. Some recover, some pretend to recover, some never come back, some chicken out before even starting, and some, for fear of taking any turns, find themselves leading the wrong life all life long.”

“On the day of my death, when they carry my coffin,
do not think that I will feel pain for this world.
Do not cry and say: it is a great loss!
When milk sours, the loss is greater.
I shall not vanish when you see them lay me in the grave.
Do the sun and moon vanish when they set?
This seems like a death to you, but it is a birth.
The grave seems like a prison to you, but the soul has been freed.
What grain does not sprout when it is put into the ground?
So why do you not believe in the grain of men?”
― Death and the Dervish

“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?”

“Često sam odlazio. I okretao se. I kažu, tada poželiš da se nekad vratiš. I vraćao sam se. Ništa nije bilo isto. Ni pejzaži, ni ljudi, ni ja... Shvatio sam. Ne treba se vraćati. Ono što je bilo lijepo, neka zauvijek ostane u snovima. Vječno će trajati”

“Life is short for those who are truly able to understand that one day the entire world will come to a complete end. Not everyone is capable of that. Not everyone has the ability to comprehend what going away for all eternity really implies. There are too many distractions, hour by hour, minute by minute, to hinder such an understanding.”
