Quote by Kent Haruf

“Who does ever get what they want? It doesn’t seem to happen to many of us if any at all. It’s always two people bumping against each other blindly, acting out old ideas and dreams and mistaken understandings.”

“Mnogima bi se svidjela da se nisi trudila svidjeti se svima. Znaš, ne treba meni objašnjenje za moj trud, često sam se trudila i na kraju izašla praznih ruku. Pa šta? Ne kajem se. I da mogu ne bi vratila vrijeme, čemu? Meni je dovoljno da se utopim u čaši uspomena. Da nazdravim onima koji su putovali sa mnom, a da to nisu niti znali, da im zahvalim, i da im poželim sreću na njihovom sljedećem putovanju. Kamo – a tko to od nas uopće zna? Kada jednom shvatiš da si zalutao, kao ja, bez karte i cilja, među te ledom optočene zidine od ljudi nema ti druge nego krčiti svoj vlastiti – zid. Jer, teško da ćeš se zagrijati na tim. Zidovima od ljudi.”

“The definition of teachers or gurus was unknown to everyone including the teachers in the campus. So the people present in the school campus weren’t teachers at all, he thought. They were just people supposed to act like robots and cram things related to the subjects in the brains of their students. A bit of general imparting of knowledge wasn’t allowed and was considered as impudence. With this brief recap of his past, the wandering mind of Mr. Patil came back to the present.”
