Toga Quote by Borislav Pekić
““Biti čovek kao vi, nije ni za kakvu pohvalu. Tako nešto morao je o sebi misliti poslednji dinosaur pre nego što su ga pojeli strvinari. Bez superiorne inteligencije, bez volje, bez duhovne i fizičke snage, bez ikakve vizije, vi ste izraziti genetički promašaj. Otpadak prirodne evolucije. U najboljem slučaju biološka sirovina, od koje se jedino uz znatan trud i potpuno prekombinaciju biološke organizacije može napraviti nešto.””
