Plameni-inkvizitori Quote by Marija Jurić Zagorka
““Probudila se njezina tiha ljubav što je do sada bila samo kao neki san. Ljubomor je zgrabio srce i valja ga u bolu, nikad iskušenom, nikad slućenom. Do ovog časa nije poznavala drugo do želju da usreći njega, pomogne mu da on stekne ženu koju ljubi. U času kad je prešao taj prag - jauknula je poput pregaženog pseta na pragu njegova gospodara. (...) "Zašto ova bol? Što sam htjela, željela, očekivala? Da on bude sretan! Sad je sretan! I ja sam sretna - sretna" - govori sebi, a bol je guši i suze padaju...””
