Toga Quote by Ivana Šojat Kuči
““Čovjek je čovjeku možda i vuk, no i to je banalna stvar perspektive. Vuk iz kojeg čopora? Vlastitog ili protivničkog? Istim rukama isti čovjek može ubijati i milovati, ista usta mogu cjelivati, zlatovezom vitica riječi mazno izrecitirati Pjesmu nad pjesmama, ali i vrijeđati, pljuvati, kleti i proklinjati. Iste oči mogu i ubiti pogledom i strepiti nad prvim koracima ploda utrobe čovjekove. Riječi koje su nas izdigle iznad zvijeri često mogu lagati, protutnjati kroz klanac približnosti i zaobići planinu istine.””
