Toga Quote by Dante Alighieri
““Ten vir-var neustály prenasleduje biednych pozemšťanov, čo žili hore bez hany i chvály. Sú spolu s podlým zborom nebešťanov, čo proti Bohu nešli do zápasu, no ani s ním' lež sami stáli stranou' Nebesá nechcú stratiť pri nich z jasu, a pekla dno čuť nechce o bedači, pri ktorej hriech by získal istú krásu.',””
