Toga Quote by George Orwell
““Na bojnom polju, u mučilištu, na brodu koji tone, razlozi zbog kojih se boriš uvijek se zaborave jer se tijelo nadimlje sve dok ne ispuni cijeli tvoj svemir, pa čak i onda kad te nije paralizirao strah ili ne vrištiš od boli, život je od trenutka do trenutka, samo borba protiv gladi ili hladnoće ili sna, protiv pokvarena želuca ili zuba koji boli.””
