Toga Quote by Emir Kusturica
““Kad ti neko blizak umre, vrijeme ne teče uobičajenim tokovima. I ti, u trenutku kada čuješ takvu vijest, malo umreš. Slabije čuješ, tiše govoriš, postaneš ona ulična svetiljka za koju nisi siguran kako da uopšte daje ikakvo svjetlo. Onda putujući do mjesta gde je sahrana upokojenog, kada stigneš tamo gdje treba, ti ponovo, od želje da ne budeš ni malo mrtav, potpuno oživiš.””
