Toga Quote by Kenizé Mourad
““Na njen se poziv okrenuo. Gledali su se dugo i bolno. Ona odjednom predosjeća da se nikada više neće vidjeti, da više nikada neće vidjeti Indiju. On će poslije često misliti na taj trenutak u kojem koliko god to želio, nije mogao nadvladati stečeni refleks, zlatno pravilo koje muslimanskim supruzima zabranjuje da javno pokažu i najmanji znak prisnosti. A tamo je bila samo porodica. …njegova mlada žena ga je ćutke preklinjala da učini takav jedan pokret.””
