Quote by Momo Kapor

“Ličilo je to na zavirivanje kroz ključaonicu u sopstvenu dečju sobu koja je danas iznajmljena nekom tuđincu: to je ona ista boja zidova, prozor što gleda na kesten u dvorištu, patos prebojen uljanom bojom za podove, i plavičasta tavanica-ali unutra su neke nepoznate, tuđe stvari i nečija druga deca...Mirisi tuđih jela.”
