Quotes by Zlata Filipović (?)

“The people must be the ones to win, not the war, because war has nothing to do with humanity. War is something inhuman.”

“...choose to deal with inhumane situations in a humane way, we can turn the world around and create positive lessons for ourselves and for others.”

“It looks to me as though these politics mean Serbs, Croats and Muslims. But they are all people. They are all the same. They all look like people, there's no difference. They all have arms, legs and heads, they walk and talk, but now there's "something" that wants to make them different.”
