Life changing events Quote by Meša Selimović

“Znao sam da je sve moje dovedeno u pitanje. Sve — to je veoma neodređeno, ali i veoma stvarno. To je izgubljenost i bespuće, to je ispadanje sa životne staze a druga ne postoji, to je osjećanje užasa bez imena, zbog praznine i gluhog prostora što bi se mogao stvoriti oko tebe.” quote by Meša Selimović
