Toga Quote by Miljenko Jergović
““Ljubavi se katkad vraćaju kao riječi i osjetiš ih kao da su prave, pa onda prelete i više ne dođu; samo što za sobom ostave sjajan trag koji zimskome jutru daje neki smisao i zbog kojega i iza rastanka ostaje neka nada, recimo nada da će naići čarobna riječ, makar slijedila nakon smrti i žrtve jednog Nane.””
