Toga Quote by Francis Scott Fitzgerald
““Ravnodušnost koja se njeguje, ili pušta da atrofira, pretvara se u prazninu - u toj mjeri naučio je prazniti iz sebe Nicole, obdarujući je i protiv svoje volje negacijama i emoconalnim zapuštanjem. Govori se o zaliječenim ožiljcima, što je slobodna paralela s patologijom kože, ali u životu pojedinca nema takve stvari. Postoje samo otvorene rane, koje se smanje katkad do veličine uboda iglom, ali ostaju rane. Biljezi patnje mogu se točnije usporediti s gubitkom prsta ili očnog vida. Možda nećemo osjetiti da nam nedostaju, nijedne minute u godini, ali ako osjetimo, onda se protiv toga ne može ništa.””
