    Meša Selimović
    “Čovjek nije drvo, i vezanost je njegova nesreća, oduzima mu hrabrost, umanjuje sigurnost. Vežući se za jedno mjesto, čovjek prihvata sve uslove, čak i nepovoljne, i sam sebe plaši neizvjsnošću koja ga čeka. Promjena mu liči na napuštanje, na gubitak uloženog, neko drugi će zaposjesti njegov osvojeni prostor, i on će počinjati iznova. Ukopavanje je pravi početak starenja, jer je čovjek mlad sve dok se ne boji da započinje. Ostajući, čovjek trpi ili napada. Odlazeći, čuva slobodu, spreman je da promijeni mjesto ili nametne uslove. Kuda i kako da ide? Nemoj da se smiješ, znam da nemamo kud. Ali možemo ponekad, stvarajući privid slobode. Tobože odlazimo, tobože mijenjamo. I opet se vraćamo smireni, utješljivo prevareni.”
    Meša Selimović, Death and the Dervish
