Toga Quote by Meša Selimović
““Ograđujem se, utišavam, slušam muziku. Čudno djeluje na mene, gotovo hipnotično, s njom se ne sporim. Ništa joj ne mogu. Nemjerljiva je, sveobuhvatna, strašna po snazi, ne mogu da je odvojim, ne mogu da je doživljavam kao nešto izvan sebe, useljava mi se u krv, dišem njome””
