Toga Quote by Guillaume Musso
““Tako je najlakše uspijevao da zakrpi rupe i učini svoj život manje tragičnim. Kao saučesnk u krađi nekoliko trenutaka razbibrige od života. Koliko prijatelj toliko i neprijatelj, alkohol je bio štit koji je osjećanja držao na odstojanju, oklop koji ga je štitio od nemira, najbolja pilula za spavanje. Prisjeti se Hemingvejeve rečenice "Inteligentan čovjek ponekad je prisiljen da se nalije kako bi mogao provoditi vrijeme sa svojim prijateljima". Eto tako. Alkohol, u osnovi, nije rješavao nijedan problem, ali je uz njega lakše podnosio sveprisutno mediokritetstvo koje je, prema njegovom mišljenju, najgora zaraza čovječanstva””
