Mnogo je tajni kojima se ne možemo ni približiti, a kamoli ih razjasniti. A možda je najveća tajna smrt, tajna i užas. I kad ne mislimo na nju, ona misli na nas.
There are many mysteries that we cannot even approach, let alone clarify. And perhaps the greatest mystery of all is death, a mystery and a terror. And when we are not thinking about it, it is thinking about us.
Со Meša Selimović, Yugoslav writer
This quote reflects on the profound and unsettling nature of death as one of the greatest mysteries of existence. It emphasises how death is an unavoidable reality that remains ever-present in our lives, even when we try to avoid thinking about it.
