Toga Quote by Meša Selimović
““Da nisam našao tebe, bio bih ljut na život, pa ne bih imao ništa, kao ni sada, ali ne bih znao šta je sreća. Zbog tebe se ne osjećam poražen, niti mislim na osvetu. (...) Ne bi ti bilo lakše, ali bi meni bilo teže, i to je pravo. Nikad te više neću ostaviti samu, sve što se desi, desiće nam se zajedno.””
