A selection of Dražen’s aphorisms…
The unemployed get a break all day, the employed only get half an hour.
A book is practically the only object you can leave anywhere without fear of someone stealing it.
Where the blood is hot, the head must be cool.
Where there is much to do, few are interested.
Filling our pockets, we empty our hearts.
The past is before us.
