Razgovor Quote by Ivo Andrić
““Uzaludno i pogrešno je tražiti smisao u beznačajnim a prividno važnim događajima koji se dešavaju oko nas, nego ga treba tražiti u onim naslagama koja stoleća stvaraju oko nekoliko glavnih legendi čovečanstva- legendi o prvom grehu, potopu, Prometeju, Sinu čovečijem””
