Thanks to Erik, Jani, Robert and Gašper, my family, Ivana, and Francois Louis – for opening my ears – and all my friends and people who are supporting what I do! (Jure)

Hvala Eriku, Janiju, Robertu in Gašperju, moji družini, Ivani in Francoisu Luisu – za odpiranje mojih ušes – in vsem prijateljem in drugim, ki podpirajo moje delo. (Jure)

The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget. (Arundhati Roy)

Edine sanje, ki jih je vredno sanjati, so sanje, da boš živel, ko boš živ in boš umrl šele, ko boš resnično mrtev. Ljubiti in biti ljubljen. Nikdar ne pozabiti na lastno nepomembnost. Se nikdar ne navaditi na nepopisno nasilje in vulgarno neskladnost življenja okrog nas. Iskati veselje na najbolj žalostnih krajih. Zasledovati lepoto do njenega izvira. Nikdar ne poenostaviti zapletenega ali zaplesti enostavnega. Spoštovati moč, nikdar silo. Predvsem gledati. Poskušati in razumeti. Nikdar gledati proč. In nikdar, nikdar pozabiti. (Arundhati Roy)
