Budio sam se ponekad, i zaticao je kako sjedi u postelji…

“Budio sam se ponekad, i zaticao je kako sjedi u postelji, obuhvativši koljena rukama. - Šta ti je? - Ništa. - Boli li te štogod? - Ne boli. Spavaj. - Čudna si večeras. - Srećna sam večeras. Prihvatio sam taj razlog, jer mi se spavalo, ali sam se sutradan pitao zar se i od sreće ne spava.” quote by Meša Selimović
