Toga Quote by Fahrudin Sinanović
““Riječ je kao i dlan. Dlanom nekoga možeš ošamariti, ali i pomilovati po obrazu. Riječju nekoga možeš utješiti, razveseliti, nasmijati, oduševiti.. Ali riječju možeš nekoga uvrijediti, poniziti, rasplakati i rastužiti… Pa čak i onda kada ti to nije namjera. Zato pazi na riječi.””
