Quote by Dejan Stojanovic

“What, then, can be the Absolute? The most logical answer is that nothing can be absolute. This answer hides a few paradoxes. If nothing can be Absolute, then there is no absolute. It is impossible to conceive something absolute in the smallest and the biggest, functioning perfectly without the possibility of a mistake or chance. Impossibility of this kind leads to the erosion of the perfection of the Absolute.”

“Everyone has some kind of debt. Such is life. Debts and liabilities, obligations, gratitude, payments, doing something for someone. Or perhaps for ourselves? For in fact we are always paying ourselves back and not someone else. Each time we are indebted we pay off the debt to ourselves. In each of us lies a creditor and a debtor at once and the art is for the reckoning to tally inside us. We enter the world as a minute part of the life we are given, and from then on we are ever paying off debts, To ourselves. For ourselves. In order for the final reckoning to tally.”
