Toga Quote by Dušan Radović
““Skromni ljudi stidljivo plaču, znaju meru i u plakanju. Mali ljudi ne plaču, već cmizdre, oni nemaju ni pravih muka, ni pravih suza. Lako plaču samo zaboravni. Ima onih koji nikada ne plaču, koji čuvaju suze za svaki slučaj. Malo je života za mnogo plakanja, mnogo je plakanja za malo života””
