Quotes About Imagination

It's funny about imagination, how it

Kad bismo svi imali mogu?nosti, hrabrosti i snage da samo jedan dio svojih maštanja i najvrelijih želja pretvorimo u stvarnost, samo u jednom ?asu svoga života, bilo bi cijelom svijetu i nama samima odmah jasno ko smo, i šta sve mi ljudi možemo da postanemo i budemo.
