Time Quote by Paulo Coelho
““U svakom medjuljudskom odnosu najvazniji je razgovor; ali ljudi se vise ne bave time: da sjednu da bi razgovarali i slusali jedni druge. Idu u pozoriste, bioskop, gledaju televiziju, slusaju radio, citaju knjige ali gotovo da i ne razgovaraju. Ako zelimo da promjenimo svijet, moramo da se vratimo u doba kada su se ratnici okupljali oko vatere i pricali price.””
