Historical-romance Quote by Marija Jurić Zagorka
““Dosta je u našoj zemlji rođeno slabića, mlitavaca, mekušaca. Dosta je slabih na volji, nestalnih na odlučnost, dosta je sramotno podatnih, izdajničko pohlepnih. Dosta ih je rođeno u našoj zemlji koji nemaju snage da budu svoji gospodari, ali imaju obraza da budu sluge drugima pod svojim krovom, na svojem imanju...””
