Study arts
Likes photography, coffee, rainy days, bunnies, internet, reading, music all day, being alone, walk alone, microscope living things, crystals, deep sea creatures, explosions, lonely places and landscapes, ruins (ancient and actual ruins), a nice piece of art, good architecture, when the nature invades buildings, planets, stars, nebulas, black holes, galaxies and all sort of deep space stuff... that's what I can think for the moment. I'll finish this list later
When Sarajevo fell under siege in 1992, Mustafa Jahic, director of the Gazi Husrav Beg Library, decided that the 10,000 manuscripts it held must be saved. ‘Saving the documents of civilisation is in my opinion, equal to saving human lives,’ Jahic says. ‘Books are our past, our roots. Without the past, we don’t have a present or a future.’
