“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.”

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.”

That day had come. The people of India saw that too, and on 15 August — despite the sorrow in their hearts for the division of their land danced in the streets with abandon and joy.”
