Ima među ženama više heroja nego što ih ima među ljudima…

“Ima među ženama više heroja nego što ih ima među ljudima, ali su ljudi celu istoriju prigrabili za sebe, i za priče o sebi. Međutim, mi smo heroji u bojnoj vatri, a žene u hladnoj svakidašnjici; mi smo hrabri pred smrću, a one pred životom; mi pred drugim čovekom, a one pred celom sudbinom.” quote by Jovan Dučić
