Quote by Josip Mlakić
““Što su onda maske? Ljudski strah od praha, smrti, velikog sna, čini mi se, i ništa više. Vrijeme smrti je definitivno vrijeme maski, a tu puta u bolji svijet nema. Ostaje samo pustinja i spoznaja da smo prah, i maske kao jedina zaštita od iskonskog ljudskog straha od smrti. Prah je naša posmrtna maska.””
