Quotes by Zlata Filipović (?)

“The people must be the ones to win, not the war, because war has nothing to do with humanity. War is something inhuman.”

“...choose to deal with inhumane situations in a humane way, we can turn the world around and create positive lessons for ourselves and for others.”
