Famous Aida Mandic Quotes

“I barely escaped Sarajevo in one piece Chetniks looked directly at my mother They were eager to kill us like mice She saw their evil eyes, as cold as ice They wanted to ensure our extinction They wanted to plan our demise But despite their ammunition We were strategic, clever, and wise Imagine being in a situation like that What would you do? What would you think? How would you deal with the intensity Of being afraid to even blink? Think about people that matter to you most What if they became like a distant ghost? What if all your friends, family, and favorite things Suddenly became birds with clipped wings?”

“Why do people apologize when they cry? Why does the devil always get a second try? Why do we insist on placing stress upon ourselves and others? It’s like we are addicted to empowering evil Hiding the roots of our suffering extending our pain Like a browser that is buffering Why do we promote displays of power but then get upset when darkness rules the hour?”
