Toga Quote by Ivana Šojat Kuči
““Čovjek je svinja koja biserje riječi uvalja u blato vlastitih djela. Velike riječi i niski udarci. Zato se lijepe stvari najljepše zato što su ostale na riječima. Kakav bi primjerice, Petrarca bio muž onoj stvojoj neostvarenoj ljubavi da se njihovi susreti nisu svodili na nedjeljne mise? Kakvi bi jedno drugom bili da su zajedno doživjeli probavne smetnje, menopauzu, sredovječnu krizu, zlovolje, depresije, histerije? Velike su ljubavi glamurozne samo zato što su ostale nedorečene. To je bolna istina.””
