Toga Quote by Miroslav Krleža
““I ako ti u ovaj tren ne progovoriš, ako ne progovoriš neposredno, neposredno, iskreno, ja ću od te tvoje konvencionalnosti poludjeti ovdje, na ovome mjestu! Meni je tako užasno, glava mi je tako strašno ogromna, tako tamna, i sve je u meni tamno, a ti si tako neistinit, tako patvoren, tako hladan, dalek, tako pasivno strašan(...).””
