Toga Quote by Irena Vrkljan
““(...) Oh, koliko su važni svi ti suputnici i uvijek se premalo brinemo o njima, dok to možemo, je često samo egoistično buljimo u sliku vlastitog života, u vlastite brige i nevolje, zaboravljamo čak i prirodu, ljude na ulicama, vidimo samo tamu u kojoj sve nestaje jer nam je pogled mutan, nepravedan.””
