Toga Quote by Ivo Andrić
““Vreme muči i zamara samo one koji žive zauzeti jedino ništavnim brigama o svojoj ličnosti i svojim uživanjima, ali ono je kratko i neosetno onima koji, zaboravljajući sebe, rade na ma kakvom poslu koji ih prevazilazi; mereno veličinom jednog smelog i neostvarljivog sna, ono gotovo i ne postoji.””

Time wears down only those pre are preoccupied with trivial concerns about self and daily life; for those who forget themselves in overwhelming work, time feels fleeting and almost imperceptible, measured against a bold, unattainable dream that barely exists.
In simple terms: Time erodes the trivial, not the absorbed.
