Right here’s right this moment’s from -Ivo Andric, novelist, Nobel laureate (9 Oct 1892-1975)
From all the things that man erects and builds in his urge for dwelling, nothing in my eyes is best and extra precious than bridges. They’re extra vital than homes, extra sacred than shrines. Belonging to everybody and being equal to everybody, helpful, all the time constructed with a way, on the spot the place most human wants are crossing, they’re extra sturdy than different buildings and they don’t serve for something secret or dangerous.
I believed this was significantly significant, given the vary of hostilities current world wide.
