Toga Quote by Goran Tribuson
““Jer, ako je književnost bolest, onda je ta bolest trajna, kronična i naprosto neizlječiva. Baš kad vam se učini da ste se izliječili, jave se recidivi prouzročeni nekim nuzgrednim povodom: šarenim ovitkom u izlogu, mirisom štamparske boje, glatkoćom bezdrvnog papira i slično. Uz to što je kronična, ta je bolest pomalo i endemična, jer pandemijama obiluju drugi žanrovi: televizija, moda, ples i trač.””
