Toga Quote by Meša Selimović
““Želim da me zvižduk vjetra zagluši, da zasvira kroz mene kao kroz trsku, mislim, kako bi bilo lijepo ne misliti, mislim: kako bi lijepo bilo naći se sad na rijeci, šiban olujom, u ribarskoj barci ili u štrkljastoj drvenoj kućici na obali rijeke, okružen divljom stihijom, sam s njom, bez tuge u sebi i oko sebe. Ali to je samo trenutna želja, davnašnja potreba za bijegom i za odvajanjem od tereta u sebi, neostvariva čežnja za tišinama.””
