Time Quote by Vladan Desnica
““Kad su svi mostovi bili spaljeni, pitao sam se: što si time postigao? Usamio si se, ogolio do kosti, stvorio oko sebe pojas pustoši. Lišio si se svega, pa najzad i sebe sama - osakaćena i nepotpuna bez svega onoga što te integrira i objašnjava. Drugi imaju bar svoje lance, ti nemaš ni to.””
