Baba Quote by Miroslav Krleža
““BABA CMIZDRI POD GALGAMA A koga vraga cmizdriš, zamusana mužača, kaj su ti sinu dali tatski ogerlič? Na galge dojde samo fini fičfirič, naj sliniti, smardljiva bedača. Još su ga mogli nabiti na ketača, z goročim kleštram popokati mu nokte. Od sega tega občuval je dragi nam Bog te i rešil te za navek tega čarvendača! Od lucke je volje volja božja jača, od Boga pak je jači, bomeš, gospon Komeš. Dobiš po gubcu, baba, če ne čkomeš. Ni fajde nam od plača. V birtije pijača, karmine tvojem sinu napijaju pajdaši! Dojdi z nama, mama! Kesno je popoldan iti k maši!””

![“All my life, I [Pari] have lived like an aquarium fish in the safety of a glass tank, behind a barrier as impenetrable as it has been transparent. I have been free to observe the glimmering world on the other side, to picture myself in it, if I like.
