“Am iesit odata afara, sa ma uit la cer - care acum e intunecat, cu o aschie subtire de luna - si nu e nimic cat de cat nerezonabil la el. Este doar el, cerul , si iata, Steaua Nordului.
Imi place cerul . Este rational, asa cum viata mea nu e. Nu e naspa sa te uiti la el, cum ai putea sa crezi , [ ... ] . Nu ma gandesc la cer ca la o chestie care are legatura cu vreun rai. Ma gandesc la el ca la o gramada de gaze si ecouri indepartate ale unor chestii care au ars la un moment dat.”

“Am intrat în închisoare orb, cu vagi străfulgerări autogene ale beznei, care despică întunericul fără a-l risipi, şi ies cu ochii deschişi. Am intrat răsfăţat, răzgâiat. Ies vindecat de fasoane, nazuri, ifose. Am intrat nemulţumit. Ies cunoscând fericirea. Am intrat nervos, supărăcios, sensibil la fleacuri. Ies nepăsător. Soarele şi viaţa îmi spuneau puţin. Acum ştiu să gust felioara de pâine cât de mică. Ies admirând mai presus de orice curajul, demnitatea, onoarea, eroismul. Ies împăcat. Cu cei cărora le-am greşit, cu prietenii şi duşmanii mei, ba şi cu mine însumi".”

“Am introdus picioarele în lava păcatelor, care mă strângea cu a sa căldură și am înaintat. Ajuns la brâu, simțeam îngrămădirea sufletelor pierdute și adunate laolaltă de acest tragic destin. Eram sufocat și am încercat să merg înapoi, însă nu puteam; calea de întoarcere era blocată de cei din urma mea care, agitați, avansau. Covârșit, m-am predat senzației lipicios-odihnitoare. În dreptul pieptului, inima goală a devenit efervescentă, dizolvându-se, iar aburul emanat se ridica spre cerul înflăcărat. Priveam cum se înălța, ducând pe celălalt tărâm de iad boarea regretelor rămase în ea, urmând ca dracii de acolo să inhaleze duhoarea morții depline. Mă uitam în sus ca într-o oglindă a infernului. Privirea mi-a fost acoperită de flăcări. M-am scufundat și auzeam cum trosnesc, mistuite, speranțele. Membrele mi-au fost contopite cu ale celorlalți și, unit fiind într-o horă a chinului, m-am ridicat la suprafață, jelind: uuu...uuu...uuu...uuu. Am renăscut prin cântecul și dansul veșnic. În jur, săreau scântei de suflet ce purtau falsa iluzie a fericirii.”

“Am invatat in munca mea, ca se tem cel mai mult de moarte cei care se apropie de ea avand prea multa viata netraita in ei. Cel mai bine este sa ne folosim toata viata. Sa nu-i lasam mortii decat drojdiile, nimic altceva decat un castel ars pana in temelii.”

“Am mai văzut fotografii de-ale ei de cînd era doar o adolescentă. Toate mi s-au părut cu neputinţă de suportat, ca şi cînd ai vrea să ţii mîna pe un fier înroşit. Nici nu ştia că exişti cînd şi le-a făcut, iar faptul că ai pierdut momente atît de preţioase din viaţa ei că a risipit atîta emoţie pentru altcineva decît pentru tine, chiar dacă pentru nimeni, este de neînţeles, de
netrăit.”

“Am Morgen des Tages, an dessen Abend er starb, schnitzte mir Opa Slavko aus einem Ast den Zauberstab und sagte: im Hut und im Stab steckt eine Zauberkraft. Trägst du den Hut und schwingst du den Stab, wirst du der mächtigste Fähigkeitenzauberer der blockfreien Staaten sein. Vieles wirst du revolutionieren können, solange es mit den Ideen von Tito konform geht und in Übereinstimmung mit den Statuten des Bundes der Kommunisten Jugoslawiens steht.
Ich zweifelte an der Zauberei, aber ich hatte keine Zweifel an meinem Opa. Die wertvollste Gabe ist die Erfindung, der
größte Reichtum die Fantasie. Merk dir das, Aleksandar, sagte Opa ernst, als er mir den Hut aufsetzte, merk dir das und denk dir die Welt schöner aus. Er übergab mir den Stab, und ich zweifelte an nichts mehr.”
