Changed Quote by Dejan Plackovic
“It changed me. Couple of my friends visited me, but they had enough of their problems, so they did not come here often. Alone with my thoughts, I realized. Nothing else matters, if you are not a good person, it just doesn't matter. After this all has happened to me, and after I recovered from an injury, everyone who saw me next said: You've changed. And indeed I have. Those two months alone helped me to grow up. And from that moment I've learned to recognize people like me. People who need help. And how to help them.”

Before then [these?], any man might instantly use what another had invented; so that the inventor had no special advantage from his own invention.
