Mothers-and-daughters Quote by Tanja Stupar Trifunović
““Tu ni životinje ne bi napravile dom gdje se svijaju te sitne žene, naše pretkinje, kojima niko ne pamti imena, čak ni mi, njihovi potomci. Nikog nije briga ko su te žene, bitni su bili sinovi i vojske koje su služili, jednako ginući u svakoj i ostavljajući ih da, umotane u crno, venu po najtužnijim selima na svijetu, gledajući s gorčinom na svoje kćeri i mrzeći ih dvostruko, što su im još samo one ostale i što će doživjeti istu sudbinu. Zato se ne sjećamo pretkinja.””
