Existentialism Quote by Ivo Andrić
““Dan je… samo bijela hartija, na kojoj se sve biljezi i ispisuje… a racun se placa nocu.. na velikim, mracnim poljima nesanice. Ali tu se sve rijesava i brise... konacno i nepovratno.. Svaka preboljena patnja, nestaje tu kao rijeka ponornica ili sagori bez traga i spomena...””
