Eternity Quote by Meša Selimović
““Bolje se držati nebeskih mera, nego običnih, ovdašnjih. Neuspjesi te ne uznemiruju, uvijek računaš na beskrajno vrijeme, opravdanje je u razlozima izvan tebe. Lični gubitak postaje manje važan. I bol. I čovjek. I današnji dan. Sve se produžava na trajanje, bezlično i ogromno, pospano tromo i svečano ravnodušno. Kao more: ne može da žali bezbrojne smrti što se u njemu neprestano dešavaju.””
