Quotes About Sound

~ Ernest Cline
Traži badem u džepu, gleda ga posred dlana, školjku s dvije zape?a?ene ljušture. Pipaju?i uokolo potraži kamen, uzme ga i po?ne lagano udarati po ljusci. Zvuk prelazi od suhog do dubokog, znak da se otvara. Dolazi do popuštanja, otvorila se pukotina, oslobodio se plod ispalog badema. Prije nego što ga stavi u usta, diže ga uvis i poljubi ga. Uzima ga na jezik kao hostiju, po?inje ga sisati. Život, koliko malo ga treba za potpunu sre?u.
