Toga Quote by Frances Scott Fitzgerald
““Znao je: čim poljubi tu djevojku i zavijek spoji svoje neiskazane vizije s njezinim kratkotrajnim dahom, da mu se duh nikada više neće uznositi božanskim zanosima. Pričekao je tren da čuje zvuk glazbene vilice što je takla jednu zvijezdu. Onda ju je poljubio. Pod dodirom njegovih usana, ona se pred njim rascvala kao cvijet i utjelovljenje bijaše dovršeno.””
