Quote by Daša Drndić

“The philosophy of the province is a philosophy of a closed circle that does not allow an apostasy, without which there is no creativity. The philosophy of the province is a normative and normalizing, suprapersonal and impersonal philosophy, it shuts out all aspects of life, education, sport, nutrition, nature, love, work, language, religion and death (which is far from being the death of an individual) replacing life with rigid forms of the normative which apply to all.”

“Urdimos tramas, dibujamos caricaturas, parodiamos, para encontrar algo de vida entre los muertos. Cantamos en un idioma que ignorábamos, y dos o tres palabras y toda la melodía y el ritmo y la intensidad nos suministraron historias mucho mejores que la original, casi siempre distintas, pero no equivocadas; intuíamos la canción, y las palabras contenían legendarias resonancias, parecían estar dichas para uno. Éramos minúsculos, provincianos pero también adivinos.”
