Toga Quote by Miroslav Krleža
““Već osamnaest milijuna godina hodamo na stražnjim nogama a još smo četveronošci uglavnom svi I što to znači znati čitati i pisati kada pišemo već sigurno dulje od pedeset hiljada godina a svakih se stotinu godina rodi po jedan čovjek koji umije doista pisati a njega ne čita nitko””
