Andric Quote by Ivo Andrić
““Bilo je vreme dozrelih vrućina kad se dan i noć gotovo i ne razlikuju, samo što mesec smeni sunce, a u svako doba dana i noći se podjednako radi i šeta, jede i peva. Vreme kad se o životu može pomisliti sve, osim da prolazi. Vreme kad prvo grožđe nagrne u grad i kad koštica u voću počinje da crni.””
