"So dnevi, ko se ne bi smelo zasvitati. Če pa se je že moralo, če je nujno, da se zasvita prav vsakega dne, bi morala obstajati kakšna možnost, da se človek izogne dnevu, ki ga zagotovo ne potrebuje, da se na primer na tak dan ne zbudi ali da kako drugače ostane zunaj njega. Brez te možnosti človek ni svoboden, saj ni in ne more biti svobodne volje v bitju, ki ne mote samo odločiti niti o tem, česar noče."

-Dževad Karahasan, Sjeme smrti

"So dnevi, ko se ne bi smelo zasvitati. Če pa se je že moralo, če je nujno, da se zasvita prav vsakega dne, bi morala obstajati kakšna možnost, da se človek izogne dnevu, ki ga zagotovo ne potrebuje, da se na primer na tak dan ne zbudi ali da kako drugače ostane zunaj njega. Brez te možnosti človek ni svoboden, saj ni in ne more biti svobodne volje v bitju, ki ne mote samo odločiti niti o tem, česar noče."

-Dževad Karahasan, Sjeme smrti

"On je znao čovjeku, kojem upravo gori kuća, oduševljeno kliktati u lice: "Je li ovo tvoja? Blago tebi, brate moj, raduj se i slavi, sretniče", a onda mu nadugo objašnjavati da Allah dragi samo one koje voli stavlja pred velika iskušenja i brzo ih oslobađa sveg nepotrebnog tereta. A onda kad je normalne ljude sve navodilo na misli o samoubistvu, on je glasno uvjeravao sve oko sebe, pogotovo onoga ko ispravno razmišlja o tome da se ubije, da je život prelijepo čudo i ovaj svijet pravo mjesto da ga se provede."
