Toga Quote by Antonin Artaud

“Postoji u meni nešto užasno, što raste i što ne potiče od mene samog, već iz mrakova koje nosim u sebi, što potiče odande gde čovekova duša ne zna gde počinje a gde se završava njegovo Ja, niti šta ga je nateralo da započne onako kako misli da je započeo.” quote by Antonin Artaud
