Do you have a favourite? We would be delighted if you would also contribute some of your own!

Toliko je bilo u životu stvari kojih smo se bojali. A nije trebalo. Trebalo je živjeti. There were so many things in life we were afraid of. But we shouldn't have been afraid. We should have lived.

By Ivo Andrić

Čudno je kako je malo potrebno da budemo sretni, i još čudnije: kako nam često baš to malo nedostaje. It is strange how little it takes to be happy, and even stranger how often just that little bit is missing.

By Ivo Andrić

Što ne boli – to nije život, što ne prolazi – to nije sreća. What doesn't hurt - is not life; what doesn't pass - is not happiness.

By Ivo Andrić, Yugoslav author and diplomat, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961.
