Toga Quote by Ivo Andrić
““Čovjek mašta od djetinjstva o velikim gradovima i slavnim poprištima, ali stvarne i odlučne bitke za održavanje svoje ličnosti i ostvarenje svega što ona u sebi nagonski krije, mora da bije tamo gdje ga sudbina baci, bogzna na kakvom uskom, bezimenom prostoru, bez sjaja i ljepote, bez svjedoka i sudije.””
