Toga Quote by Julio Cortazar
““Kada otvorim vrata i pojavim se na stepeništu, znaću da dole počinje ulica. Ali ne kalup, unapred prihvaćen, niti dobro poznate kuće, ni onaj hotel preko puta, nego ulica, gaj pun života, gde svaki trenutak može pasti na mene u obliku cveta magnolije, i gde će se lica rađati pod mojim pogledom, kada učinim sledeći korak, kada laktovima i trepavicama i noktima razbijem masu staklene cigle, i reskiram svoj život da bih korak po korak otišao i skupio novine na uglu.””
