Toga Quote by Jovan Popović

“I onda, umre nam majka. I misliš: ne može se preboleti. Ali nauči čovek. Nauči se da živi bez ruku i bez očiju. A kad se srce smrzne, lepo se živi i bez srca. A kad se duša uguši, lepo se živi i bez duše. Mnogi su mrtvi već davno pre svoje smrti, a možda su baš takvi i najsrećniji.” quote by Jovan Popović
