| 19cca26 | Tako obicno biva. Oni koje zelimo da vidimo ne dolaze u casovima kad na njih mislimo i kad ih najvise ocekujemo, a pojavljuju se u nekom trenutku kad smo mislima najdalje od njih. | Ivo Andrić | ||

Ovo mucno i dugo zidanje bilo je za njega tudi rad o tudem trosku. Tek kad je kao plod toga napora iskrsnuo veliki most, ljudi su poceli da se secaju pojedinosti i da postanak stvarnog, vesto zidanog i trajno.. | Ivo Andrić | ||

| 18208d0 | Sav sjaj sto ga Bog svijetom propisa plavi oci moje. Vezani su cilimi od sunca i sjenka. Ognjen miris ima vino zivota. Srce mi pod grlom bije. Za dug zivot i veliku radost! Putujte i brodite, ne ostanite zeljni burna mora, ni polja, ni gustih suma! Milo je Bogu da vas vidi gdje vam je zivot pjesma i ples! Za zive i za one koji su mladi! | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 12d2a9f | Tako, svuda na svetu, gde god se moja misao krene ili stane, nailazi na verne i cutljive mostove kao na vecitu i vecno nezasicenu ljudsku zelju da se poveze, izmiri i spoji sve sto iskrsne pred nasim ocima i nogama, da ne bude deljenja, protivnosti ni rastanaka. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 63830e3 | God didn't give man wings; He gave him the brain and the spirit to give himself wings. Just as He gave us the capacity to laugh when we hurt, or to struggle on when we feel like giving up.

| 1136e10 | Hawai'i has often been called a melting pot, but I think of it more as a 'mixed plate'---a scoop of rice with gravy, a scoop of macaroni salad, a piece of mahi-mahi, and a side of kimchi. Many different tastes share the plate, but none of them lose their individual flavor, and together they make up a uniquely 'local' cuisine. This is also, I believe, what America is at its best---a whole greater than the sum of it's parts. | hawaii honolulu melting-pot mixed-plate race-relations | Alan Brennert | |
