Historical-romance Quote by Marija Jurić Zagorka
““Svakog dušmanina lakše se riješiti i bolje s njime voditi borbu nego s domaćom izdajicom. Uvijek je bilo tako i ostat će. Lakše je baciti preko praga nasilnika koji ti provali u kuću nego onoga koji sjedi u toplom zapećku, a u srcu nosi izdajstvo i smišlja kako bi prodao razbojniku i vlastitu krv.””
