Toga Quote by Konstantin Bastajić
““Ne odredjuje svijest ljudi njihovo biće, već obrnuto, njihovo društveno biće odredjuje njihovu svijest. ...Kretanje materije ne isključuje u stvarnom životu i mirovanje. Momenti mirovanja koji mogu biti kraći ili duži, pa i vrlo dugi, nastupaju onda kada procesi, koji se vrše u nekoj stvari, istu ne mijenjaju bitno - kvantitativne promjene, i ne zadiru u njenu suštinu tj. kvalitet.””
