Toga Quote by Meša Selimović
““Bila je drukčija od njegove magličaste vizije iz prvog susreta, stvarnija, bliža, odredjenija, ali time nije gubila ništa. Ona iz snova bila je mašta, magla njegovih zaludnih časova, i imala je nestalan oblik njegovih želja, a ova se nije mijenjala ni rasplinjavala. Stajala je pred njim uzdržana i gospodstvena, otkrivajući svakim svojim pokretom poneku osobinu koja je djelovala kao iznenadjenje””
