Long sentences and wide joys

Teofil Pančić's language is most like an avalanche: it moves with enormous speed and breaks everything in front of it. If it overwhelms you - you're done. However, it will only come down on you if you deserve it. No one was observed to have been hit by an avalanche who did not invoke the avalanche through stupidity, recklessness, creepiness, or a choice to reek of fascism

Adventures of a Dreamcatcher

Zograf's themes, says Vuković, are phenomena, people and objects suppressed from the mainstream of history and culture, with which his autographed avatar introduces us. Thus, on the pages of his comics, one finds the characters of anonymous witnesses of wars, aboriginal artists, local personalities, poison grandmothers who believe that their dreams have determined their fate, characters who, in fact, are a very good match for the superheroes of the industrialized comic business.

Philosophy is a dam against the invasion of non-opinions

"The current student movement, if I'm not mistaken, is for the most part the realization of negative engagement. It stands up against obvious lies, injustice and lack of freedom without declaring itself the owner of truth, justice and freedom and, equally important, without agreeing to political settlements around it. It is anti-political in the sense that we, burdened by 'politics as fate', cannot understand at all: it is not a question of who will rule - when the question is posed in this way, the answer already implies absolute power - but to build institutions that will make autocracy impossible and enable the change of power without blood"

Praise of discord

"The problem of our society is that it is not divided enough, therefore, it is not politically profiled enough from the inside. The only division I see here is the division between the ruling team, which usurped public space and introduced corruption as the only institution, and citizens, on the other hand, who do not have access to public space, and that is why they go out into the streets," says philosopher Zoran Dimić.
