“Савремено мишљење, у основи критичко, усмерено је и према нама самима, то јест према аветима које извиру из нас, као и према фасцинацијама и страшилима која делују из заостале средине на човекову свест.

All the things I might not be;
Take her head upon your knee.

Take her head upon your knee;
Say to her, “My dear, my dear,
It is not so dreadful here.”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay
