"Searching for what I need, and I don't even know precisely what that is, I was going from a man to a man, and I saw that all of them together have less than me who has nothing, and that I left to each of them a bit of that what I don't have and I've been searching for"

This quote by Ivo Andric speaks to the concept of searching for something that is unidentified. He is trying to find something that he needs, however he doesn't understand what it is. He is going from one person to another, as well as he notices that every one of them with each other have less than him, although he has absolutely nothing. He is giving away a little bit of what he doesn't have, as well as he is still searching for something. This quote talks with the suggestion of handing out what you do not have in order to locate something that you need. It is a reminder that even when you have absolutely nothing, you can still provide something away as well as it can help you find what you are seeking. It is a tip that also when you don't have a lot, you can still be generous and assist others.
