Toga Quote by Henry Miller
““Nije skrivala bilo kakve uznemirujuće tajne; što god se moglo ljudski ubiti, ona bi ubila. Mogla je tako beskrajno poživjeti, jednako kao i mjesec, kao bilo koja mrtva planeta koja zrači hipnotičkim sjajem, diže plimu strasti, nagoni svijet u ludilo, svojim magnetskim, metalnim zracima oduzima boju svim zemaljskim stvarima. Sijući vlastitu smrt, prenosi na svakoga paklensku groznicu. U odvratnoj mirnoći svog sna obnovila je vlastitu magnetsku smrt u dodiru s hladnom magmom pustih planetarnih svjetova.””
