Quote by Ammara Šabić-Langić

“Ponekad pitanje: "Da li boli?", nije pitanje, već molba. Čak je, možda, zahtjev. Zahtjev, koji treba razumjeti ovako: "Reci da te ne boli, kako bih mogao/la i dalje po svom, nesputavan/a glasom savjesti." Eto, ne boli. Ok? Ne boli. Vjeruj mi. Možda povjerujem i ja.”

“Remember, we all make our work available in a commercial transaction, the terms of which we, ourselves, dictate. If we give it away for free, that’s our decision, and there is no refuge in the lame defense, “what do you want for nothing?” The buyer does not waive his right to express his opinion."

“Every day people sleep, wake up, work, and eat according to the established set of rules we call time. In other words, we set our lives by the clock. Human beings went through the trouble of inventing rules that imposed limits on their lives, boxing them up into hours, days, and years. And then they invented clocks to make time’s rule over us even more precise. The fact that we have these rules means that we’ve given up some of our freedom. And yet we’ve surrounded ourselves with reminders of that loss of freedom - by hanging clocks on walls and dotting them around our houses. And as if that weren’t enough, we make sure that there’s a clock wherever we go, no matter what we’re doing. We’ve even felt the need to wrap our bodies up in time by going so far as to wrap it around our wrists.”
