Toga Quote by Kristian Novak
““Oni što kopaju, oni valjda mogu zavoljeti samo nedostižno, povremenu uspomenu, možda nešto što ne razumiju. Oni vole izdaleka. Osluškuju. Očajnici zavole druge očajnike, samo nikada one svoje vrste. Nekoga tko ih možda razumije, ali im se ne gadi. Osvetnici zavole nešto čime mogu upravljati. Cinici zavole nešto što im ne može nanijeti bol. A oni koji žele živjeti? Sudeći po sebi, oni zavole ono što nipošto ne smiju. Takvi smo živi, jedino takvi.””
