| 097fb5e | Vrijeme je da se penje, da se napreduje za stepenicu vise, iako ni prethodna stepenica nije jos potpuno osvojena ni utvrdena kako treba. Govoriti malo, ne govoriti zlo, glupo, povrsno ni uzaludno, ili cak ne govoriti uopste. Sve su to stepenice na putu licnog napretka i usavrsavanja koje u toku zivota, kao teren u ratu, osvajamo, gubimo i ponovo osvajamo. S godinama, tacnije receno sa staroscu, koja nastupa polako i tiho kao sumrak na zemlj.. | Ivo Andrić | ||

| 4be5c38 | You'll write to me, won't you?" Albus asked his parents immediately, capitalizing on the momentary absence of his brother. "Every day, if you want us to," said Ginny. "Not day," said Albus quickly. "James says most people only get letters from home about once a month." "We wrote to James three times a week last year," said Ginny.

| 5441d82 | Instead of answering, Will took a step toward her, and all at once, everything happened too quickly to even make sense of it. One second he was standing three feet away from her, and in the next he had a hand on her hip and was pulling her close. Leaning in, he kissed her. His lips were soft soft, and he was suprisingly gentle. Maybe it was simply that he'd caught her by surprise, but even so, she found herself kissing him back. The kiss di.. | Nicholas Sparks | ||

I wanted more of her, and no matter what happened between us, I already knew I'd never forget anything about her. As crazy as it sounded, she was becoming part of me, and I was already dreading the fact that we wouldn't be able to spend the day together tomorrow. Or the day after, or the day after that. Maybe, I told myself, we could beat the odds.' - John | love military-love | Nicholas Sparks | |

Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things. | Lois Lowry | ||
