Quote by Margita Stefanović
““Bojim se da se ne probudim ili se bojim da se probudim a da su granice zatvorene. Strahujem da se odjednom ne mogu prepoznati. A ne možeš da se prepoznaš zato što ne dobijaš nikakvu potvrdu sebe ili nekakakvih svojih vrednosti. Ta potvrda bi se ogledala u tome, što se podrazumeva u zemljama civilizovanog kulturnog kontinuiteta, što si deo prosperiteta u perspektivi, kontinuiranog napredovanja, makar i u odrzavanju tog kontinuiteta. ... Bojim se besmislenosti naše konačnosti.””
