Miljenko Jergović
“Na to je gucnuo, pa se još gore mrgodio, kao da je optuženik koji sluša presudu u Haagu, i stresao se kao pokisli pas kad uđe u kuću- što oduvijek na Balkanu znači samo jedno- da je rakija dobra i jaka.”
Miljenko Jergović, Freelander

John Payton Foden
“Then Drago began the deliberate, precise, business-like process of killing.  A knee-buckling burst of fire and flash laid waste to men and material within seconds.  A Panhard vehicle to Silva’s left simply disappeared in an explosion that spraying metal parts willy-nilly in every direction in a spread so thorough that Drago thought they were under fire, and he yelled at his men to respond.  Another blast destroyed a six-wheeled reconnaissance vehicle, but it didn’t break it apart; it simply expanded as if swollen or bloated, like an air mattress or inflatable toy, though it still had weight and quickly collapsed over its own suspension.  Some trucks were overturned; a Jeep flipped end-over-end.  None were left unscathed.  In short order, what had been ten or twelve vehicles were reduced to a single steaming and smoking pile of metal.”
John Payton Foden, Magenta
