" "People have the need to unite in camps, in groups, whether by religious, national, racial or class affiliation. When one looks from a slightly further, slightly higher perspective, one cannot help but notice that all these groupings are artificially fabricated, supposedly in the name of unity, but in fact in the name of division. And, as we may remember, the ancient Romans wisely said: "Divide and rule". While people are divided and exterminate each other because of this or that sentence in the Qur'an or the Bible, some others steal and steal everything they can get their hands on. I think that this fact, at least when it comes to "our" (mine certainly wasn't!) war in the nineties, is slowly reaching the brain of the so-called common man. But now it's too late: everything has already been sold out and resold and looted and devastated.

Additional quotes by Mira Furlan
Rulers try to keep their subjects in the belief that they have no choice but to do so. And what if they do? What if it is still possible to make a choice in a situation in which there is supposedly no choice? This very idea is dangerous to the system and therefore subversive. But this very thought is the path to freedom.
I was one of those who really believed in the so-called brotherhood and unity, but not only of our peoples, but of all the people of the world. And I still believe that this is the only option for the survival of the human race. Everything else leads to violence, suffering and destruction. I don't understand nationalism, I don't vibrate on that string.

In my humble opinion, countries – nations are a completely obsolete category. One has only to look at the rivers of refugees from Syria and Africa and the armed army at the border crossings of various countries such as Hungary to understand that this world order is a source of evil and horror for the majority of the population of our planet. After all these years, I came to the conclusion that betrayal was somehow easy, too easy for our people. At all levels, in all categories, from public to private. It was and still is so easy to betray a friend, an idea, an attitude. And finally, himself. Betrayals are cowardly because they are most often motivated by opportunism or, even worse, fear. Cowardice and betrayal go hand in hand.
