Toga Quote by Ivo Andrić
““Ja, covjek nestalna srca koji živim bez mira i radosti; gorak život o tudjem hljebu, nemirne prošlosti, pune lutanja, nesnalaženja i stradanja, nestalne, teške sadašnjosti i mračne budućnosti,šiban strastima, potresen događajima, i mučen od ljudi, oboren i gažen na ulazu u život, podgrižen grijehom, i borbom proti grijehu-ja žudim svom dušom mir i molim noćas od Boga život vedar i tih da se ne kidam u sebi i ne lomim svijetom.””
