“Surrounded by progress, I feel a nagging sense of our species’ regression.”
― Mo Yan, Red Sorghum: A Novel of China

“The eternal child. - We think that play and fairy tales belong to childhood:
how shortsighted that is! As though we would want at any time of life to
live without play and fairy tales! We give these things other names, to be
sure, and feel differently about them, but precisely this is the evidence
that they are the same things - for the child too regards play as his work
and fairy tales as his truth. The brevity of life ought to preserve us from a
pedantic division of life into different stages - as though each brought
something new - and a poet ought for once to present a man of two
hundred: one, that is, who really does live without play and fairy tales.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“Ili mu se sve to pričinjavalo od viška literature i manjka života?”
― Goran Petrović, La mano de la buena fortuna

“What a shame for a man like him to be born during peacetime. If he’d been born only a few decades earlier, he’d have worn the mantle of hero,”
