Instead..."Snagu, koja osvaja sve, lepota je oduvek pobeđivala." I would change to "Snaga, koja osvaja sve, je oduvek bila poražena lepotom."

Thank you,
I was thinking about passive voice myself, as it is used in the original text...I just wasn't sure, but the first choice seemed better. And the passive voice is less common in Serbian than it is in English..

Your original translation of the sentence does not convey the meaning. The passive voice might be less used in Serbian language, but it is still used and it exists.

ok, I think I could put the passive. What do you think about " Snaga, koja osvaja sve,je oduvek bivala (instead of bila) poražena lepotom"?
