Quotes by Jan Guillou (?)

“Ne postoje granice onoga što čovjek može naučiti, samo granice koje sami povučemo u svojim glavama.

“A person had to learn to come to terms with the fate determined for him by God. It would do no good to grumble that one would rather be someone else or live somewhere else. Instead one had to try to make the best of the situation; that was the only way to fulfill God’s plans.”
― Jan Guillou, The Road to Jerusalem
