Toga Quote by Dušan Mitana
““Po sobi su bile rasturene desetine knjiga, nijednu nisam pročitao do kraja. Svoje gluvarenje sam sam pred sobom pravdao kao pripremu za veliki roman. Na kraju krajeva, možda to i nije bilo lenstvovanje, jer sam o onom romanu neprekidno razmišljao. Imao sam ga u glavi, međutim, bio je toliko dobar da mi je bilo žao da ga pokvarim pisanjem. Ne, to nije bilo izgubljeno vreme. Za kreativnog čoveka ne postoji traćenje vremena, govorio sam sebi i činilo se da počinjem da postajem stvaralac. To što je delovalo kao lenčarenje je možda bio period najintenzivnijeg rada. Ali navika, koja je zahtevala ubedljivije dokaza rada, povremeno me je mučila grižom savesti.””
