Toga Quote by Georges Perec

“Ili pak imati samo odjeću koju nosimo na leđima, ništa ne čuvati, živjeti po hotelima i često ih mijenjati, seliti se iz grada u grad, iz zemlje u zemlju; jednako dobro govoriti i čitati četiri ili pet jezika; nigdje se ne osjećati kao kod kuće, ali gotovo bilo gdje ugodno.” quote by Georges Perec
