Sa më tepër kalojnë vitet, aq më shumë e kuptoj se pedana e kërcimit së larti ishte mbi të gjitha një pedanë që më mësoi artin e të jetuarit. Kërcimi së larti është një garë, ku, për çdo lartësi, fillohet nga e para. Rutina të trasformon në një person që konsideron normale procesin e rifillimit pafundësisht. Perfeksionon mendërisht se, pas çdo rënieje mbi dyshek, je gati për një kërcim të ri, për një lartësi të re.

"THE CODE OF LEKE DUKAGJINI is a great cultural treasure, comparable to the chapters of The Old Testament." "It provides deep insights into the ancient society of the Albanians, their somber dignity & their magnificent sense of honor."--David Binder, The New York Times. "This legal system was established & passed on to future generations as a common law by Leke Dukagjini, a co-fighter of the legendary Skenderbeg." "The 'Besa' or the 'word of honor' as stated in THE CODE OF LEKE DUKAGJINI which means peace & protection to those whom it is given, has become today an important fighting tool in the political struggle of Kosovo's Albanians against Serb oppression."--Victor Meier, The Frankfurter Allgemeine Seitung. "The legal Code of the Albanians known by them for a thousand years, is one of the most original in the history of mankind. Among the basic pillars of this code are the equality of men before the code & the non-abuse of justice." "The entire essence of the legal code of the Albanians is an unparalleled rigorous respect for this basic principle: non-violation of the dignity of a man- his honor, home, & life."--Ismail Kadare, Albanian writer.
