“She wipes her forehead with her wrist She's just back from a double shift Esther's a carer doing nights Behind her on the kitchen wall is a black and white picture of swallows in flight Her eyes are sore her muscles ache she cracks a beer and swigs it She holds it to her thirsty lips and necks it till it's finished. It's 4:18 a.m. again. Her brain is full of all she's done that day She knows that she won't sleep a wink before the sun is on it's way. She's worried about the world tonight. She's worried all the time. She don't know how she's supposed to put it from her mind . . . - Europe is Lost”

“Stoji iza mene daleko, petnaest i više godina daleko, prigušeno bosansko djetinjstvo. Da li se sjećam? Bila je jedna kutija - soba, i po njoj išlo napaćeno mršavo lice, noge u papučama, izblijedjele dimije i blag predan pogled. Majka! Od zida do zida, od vrata do peći, od ručka do večere, od jeseni do proljeća, u zidovima, među četiri zida, uzidan, tekao je nelijep ženski život.”

“Ti si se nakon toliko godina našao u kraju, gdje si proživio svoje prve i najsretnije dane, i ja iz iskustva znam kako je to. Čovjek se baci u onu sretnu prošlost kao u toplu, mjesečnu noć. Sve u njemu jeca od razdraganosti. Pa makar ga život po stoputa okrutio, postaje sentimentalan. Eto - to je ono što ti ne smiješ. Sentimentalnost nije pravi, jaki osjećaj, neg mekana bešika, u koju polažemo naše prekomotno srce.”
