“Do you know, darling? When you became involved with others you quite possibly stepped down a level or two, but If you become involved with me, you will be throwing yourself into the abyss.”

“Why do women prefer adventurers who make them suffer, rather than men who are kind and attentive? Are they seduced by the man or by the vast horizons he allows them to glimpse? Is it the man they love or the dream he represents?”

“Svako mora da ima upaljen fenjer u glavi. Da mu svetli danju i noću. Jer, ko ne svetli iznutra, taj ne živi; fenjer pomaže da bolje vidimo lica, predmete, šta se dogadja. On pomaže da odaberemo, nanižemo i svaku sitnicu povežemo u sliku, u pletivo; da u jednom životu otkrijemo sto drugih. Bez upaljenog fenjera nema ni reči; nema priče u kojoj život diše, jeca ili se razliva od miline”

“Nesreća je što niko ne meri sreću prema sebi i svojim potrebama, nego prema drugom, i to prema najsrećnijima. Manija svih ljudi je da usvajaju tuđa merila i za svoj sopstveni život. Prava sreća čovekova biće ako postigne svoje oslobođenje od drugih ljudi; a osloboditi se, to je najpre odvojiti svoju sudbinu od presije tuđih primera, dajući svom zivotu pečat svoje sopstvene prirode i svojih ukusa.”

“There is a legend about a bird which sings only once in it's life, more beautifully than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves it's nest, it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, it impales it's breast on the longest, sharpest thorn. But as it is dying, it rises above it's own agony to outsing the Lark and the Nightingale. The Thornbird pays it's life for that one song, and the whole world stills to listen, and God in his heaven smiles, as it's best is brought only at the cost of great pain; Driven to the thorn with no knowledge of the dying to come. But when we press the thorn to our breast, we know, we understand.... and still, we do it." ~ Colleen McCullough”
