Every time people come at us with the intention of killing us, I close my eyes and wait for death. Even though I am still alive, I feel like each time I accept death, part of me dies.

When I was very little, my father used to say, "If you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die." I thought about these words during my journey, and they kept me moving even when I didn't know where I was going. Those words became the vehicle that drove my spirit forward and made it stay alive.
~ Ishmael Beah

But misfortunes do not last forever (this they have in common with joys) but pass away or are at least diminished and become lost in oblivion. Life on the kapia always renews itself despite everything and the bridge does not change with the years or with the centuries or with the most painful turns in human affairs. All these pass over it, even as the unquiet waters pass beneath its smooth and perfect arches.
~ Ivo Andri?
Ne ruši sve mostove, možda ?eš se vratiti. Nisi ptica ni leptir obalom što leti, kad nema mostova uzalud je ?eznuti, uzalud je shvatiti, uzalud je htjeti. Ne ruši sve mostove, možda ?eš se vratiti. Ostavi bar jedan most izme?u srca i mene, u samo?i je lakše neshva?eno shvatiti, mogle bi te nazad nagnati uspomene.
~ Ivo Andri?
Šta vredi imati mnogo i biti nešto, kad ?ovek ne može da se oslobodi straha od sirotinje, ni niskosti u mislima, ni grubosti u re?ima, ni nesigurnosti u postupcima, kad gorka i neumitna a nevidljiva beda prati ?oveka u stopu, a taj lepši, bolji i mirniji život izmi?e se kao varljivo privi?enje.
~ Ivo Andri?
Ja kažem sebi: Još ve?eras budi hrabar, ne drhti i ne boj se više nego što treba, a ve? sutra možda ne?e nam trebati ni hrabrosti ni utehe.
~ Ivo Andri?
Hope is an act of desperate defiance against monstrous odds.
~ Ivo Andri?
Jer jedino tako, žive?i svaki trenutak odvojeno i ne gledaju?i ni napred ni natrag, može se ovakav život podneti i živ ?ovek sa?uvati za bolje dane.
~ Ivo Andri?
Ja, covjek nestalna srca koji živim bez mira i radosti; gorak život o tudjem hljebu, nemirne prošlosti, pune lutanja, nesnalaženja i stradanja, nestalne, teške sadašnjosti i mra?ne budu?nosti,šiban strastima, potresen doga?ajima, i mu?en od ljudi, oboren i gažen na ulazu u život, podgrižen grijehom, i borbom proti grijehu-ja žudim svom dušom mir i molim no?as od Boga život vedar i tih da se ne kidam u sebi i ne lomim svijetom.
~ Ivo Andri?
Kod unutarnjih borba koje ?ovek vodi sa samim sobom i sa nepoznatim silama u sebi, važi više nego igde pravilo: ne predaj se nikad! - Ni predaje, ni ustupanja! A pre svega, što kažu u Bosni: ne veži tugu za srce!
~ Ivo Andri?
