When it came down to technical skill and ability of the two teams, Croatia were far superior. ~ Alan Mullery
Croatia quotes by Alan Mullery
The wind god Favonius had warned him in Croatia: If you let your anger rule you … your fate will be even sadder than mine. But how could his fate be anything but sad? Even if he lived through this quest, he would have to leave both camps forever. That was the only way he would find peace. He wished there was another option – a choice that didn't hurt like the waters of the Phlegethon – but he couldn't see one. ~ Rick Riordan
Croatia quotes by Rick Riordan
He was driven by the idea that when Milosevic grabs a part of Bosnia, Croatia should get a piece of it, too. ~ Stjepan Mesic
Croatia quotes by Stjepan Mesic
I want to see a thousand tiny places, smell their flowers, and taste the sauces made by their people. I want to feel the difference between the textures of grit in Sri Lanka and Morocco. I want to meet the woman who bakes the best bread i n the smallest town in New Zealand. I want to find the best vantage point to see Bosnia from Croatia. What do the Grand Marnier crepes taste like in Rouen? In Paris? There are untold numbers of tiny places and extraordinary people who occupy them. We will perhaps see a hundred of both. ~ Tsh Oxenreider
Croatia quotes by Tsh Oxenreider
Growing up, I spent summers with my grandparents in a small seaside town in Croatia. It's the most beautiful place on the planet. I still go back every year. It reminds me of what's important in life. ~ Vanya Asher
Croatia quotes by Vanya Asher
My father is from Bosnia, and my mother is from Croatia, but I was born in Sweden. ~ Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Croatia quotes by Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The Kosovars were granted autonomy at the end of World War II, but then aspiring president Milosevic had the autonomy revoked in 1989, and the Dayton Accords of 1995, which ended the recent war in Bosnia and Croatia, failed to address the issue of Kosovo's status. ~ Sebastian Junger
Croatia quotes by Sebastian Junger
We've arrived," Leo announced. "Time to Split."
Frank groaned. "Can we leave Valdez in Croatia? ~ Rick Riordan
Croatia quotes by Rick Riordan
I ate fantastic Italian food in Croatia, which you wouldn't expect. The food in Istanbul was amazing. I never would've expected that and the food, I guess you're learning something about me, the food in Prague, they're very, very heavy meat eaters, like, a lot of meat, which is great. ~ Cliff Curtis
Croatia quotes by Cliff Curtis
Telling my story was supposed to be a good thing but it had just made everything worse. ~ Sara Novic
Croatia quotes by Sara Novic
In Globetrotter, David Albahari explores the consciousness of emigres from the former Yugoslavia, Croatia and Serbia, showing that while abroad, many of us are even more intensely preoccupied with our histories than we were while living in Yugoslavia. His narrative structured out of realistic details and perceptions with self-conscious meditation blending history, civilization and its discontents, and personal experience reaches a density and intensity akin to Krasznahorkai's and Thomas Bernhard's. An intensely idiosyncratic narrative, enjoyable and thoughtful. ~ Josip Novakovich
Croatia quotes by Josip Novakovich
I now have Croatian citizenship, but I only accepted it because Croatia allowed me to keep my Russian passport. ~ Garry Kasparov
Croatia quotes by Garry Kasparov
PepsiCo is the largest food-and-beverage company in the United States, and the second-largest in the world after Nestle. If PepsiCo were a country, the size of its economy - sixty billion dollars in revenues in 2010 - would put it sixty-sixth in gross national product, between Ecuador and Croatia. ~ John Seabrook
Croatia quotes by John Seabrook
We created a new democratic Croatia, ... The HDZ is the strongest party in Croatia, and it achieved this not because of us politicians but because of you, the people of Croatia. ~ Franjo Tudjman
Croatia quotes by Franjo Tudjman
Hungary to the upper left, upper left, Serbia to the lower left, lower left. Bosnia on the bottom, on the bottom. Slovenia to the top, to the top. And where's Croatia?" "Where? Where?" Jacob sung. "It's next to the Adriatic Sea, across from Italy! ~ J. Lynn
Croatia quotes by J. Lynn
Afghanistan is very satisfied with Croatia's participation in the NATO-led peace mission and expects Croatia to expand its contribution to peace restoration in Afghanistan to other areas as well. ~ Hamid Karzai
Croatia quotes by Hamid Karzai
One of the reasons they didn't go to Bosnia, bin Laden has explained extensively, was because they couldn't establish a base anywhere. Not in Catholic Croatia. Not in Orthodox Serbia. So they sent some trainers and a lot of money. ~ Michael Scheuer
Croatia quotes by Michael Scheuer
Babe i žabe ('just say no to Greater Serbia, Greater Croatia and Islamic State!') ~ John Farebrother
Croatia quotes by John Farebrother
Croatia has been glorious - it's so beautiful, and I want to go back as often as I can. ~ Emilia Clarke
Croatia quotes by Emilia Clarke
The country was at war, but for most people the war was more an idea than an experience, and I felt something between anger and shame that Americans - that I - could sometimes ignore its impact for days at a time. In Croatia, life in wartime had meant a loss of control, war holding sway over every thought and movement, even while you slept. ~ Sara Novic
Croatia quotes by Sara Novic
It's absurd to accuse Serbia and the Serbs for the armed secession of Croatia,. ~ Slobodan Milosevic
Croatia quotes by Slobodan Milosevic
Being in America isn't old-hat - it's where we're from - but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia, which were quite cool. I'm a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I'm into that kind of thing. ~ Richie Sambora
Croatia quotes by Richie Sambora
I've enjoyed, to a certain extent, any country I've been in, of course like Serbia and Croatia can be very restrictive and oppressive, and frustrating, but they're still very beautiful. ~ Henry Rollins
Croatia quotes by Henry Rollins
The Soviet Union came apart along ethnic lines. The most important factor in this breakup was the disinclination of Slavic Ukraine to continue under a regime dominated by Slavic Russia. Yugoslavia came apart also, beginning with a brutal clash between Serbia and Croatia, here again 'nations' with only the smallest differences in genealogy; with, indeed, practically a common language. Ethnic conflict does not require great differences; small will do. ~ Daniel Patrick Moynihan
Croatia quotes by Daniel Patrick Moynihan
For years, Zagreb, Croatia's chief city, was a layover on the way to the country's island-studded coast. No more. Tourism had shot up more than 20 percent from 2011 to 2013, when Croatia joined the European Union. Accompanying that rise is a raft of modernized and recently built lodgings, including some three dozen hostels - important additions to the town's once-inadequate accommodation scene. ~ Anonymous
Croatia quotes by Anonymous
I love the way folktale and fantasy tap into the roots of story telling. The paradox, for me, is that by moving a story into the fantastic we can actually bring it closer to the reader, not move it further away. It is more than an escape. When we read of the only daughter of a fisherman (or the third son of a woodcutter) in a fairy tale, we are all that character. That's the underlying pulse beat of such tales. Using the fantastic as a prism for the past, if done properly, removes the tale from distancing specificity. It can't just be read as unique to a time and place; it is universalized in interesting, powerful ways. When I wrote Tigana, about the way tyranny tries to erase identity in conquered peoples, the fantasy setting seems to have done exactly that: I'm asked in places ranging from Korea to Poland to Croatia to Quebec, "Were you writing about us?"

I was. All of them. That is the point. The fantastic is a tool in the writer's arsenal, as potentially powerful as any there is, and any tool we have works to the benefit of the reader. ~ Guy Gavriel Kay
