Toga Quote by Julian Tuwim
““Od grzechu zaczął się jej świat, A ze Pan Bóg ja stworzył, a szatan opętał, Jest wiec odtąd na wieki i grzeszna, i święta, Zdradliwa i wierna, i dobra i zła, I rozkosz i rozpacz, i uśmiech i łza, I gołąb i żmija, i piołun i miód, I anioł i demon, i upiór i cud, I szczyt nad chmurami, i przepaść bez dna, Początek i koniec - kobieta, acha!””
