“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”
― Seneca

“PREDOSEĆANJE

Poznala sam te kad sneg se topi,
topi, i duva vetar mlak.
Blizina proleća dušu mi opi,
opi, pa žudno udisah zrak.
S nežnošću gledah stopa ti trag,
trag po snegu belom;
i znadoh da ćeš biti mi drag,
drag u životu celom.

Poznala sam te u zvonak dan,
dan pijan, svež i mek.
Činjaše mi se već davno znan,
znan kad te poznadoh tek.
S nežnošću gledah stopa ti trag,
trag po snegu belom;
i znadoh da ćeš biti mi drag,
drag u životu celom.

Poznala sam te kad kopni led,
led, dok se budi proletnji dah;
kad dan je čas rumen, čas setan, bled,
kad sretno se i tužno u isti mah.
S nežnošću gledah stopa ti trag,
trag po snegu belom;
i znadoh da ćeš biti mi drag,
drag u životu celom.”
― Desanka Maksimović
