Toga Quote by Miroslav Mika Antić
““Ukrašću tvoju senku, obući je na sebe i pokazivati svima. Bićeš moj način odevanja svega nežnog i tajnog. Pa i onda, kad dotraješ, iskrzanu, izbledelu, neću te sa sebe skidati. Na meni ćeš se raspasti. Jer ti si jedini način da pokrijem golotinju ove detinje duše. I da se više ne stidim pred biljem i pred pticama. Na poderanim mestima zajedno ćemo plakati. Zašivaću te vetrom. Posle ću, znam, pobrkati moju kožu s tvojom. Ne znam da li me shvataš: to nije prožimanje. To je umivanje tobom. Ljubav je čišćenje nekim. Ljubav je nečiji miris, sav izatkan po nama. Tetoviranje maštom. Evo, silazi sumrak, i svet postaje hladniji. Ti si moj način toplog. Obući ću te na sebe da se, ovako pokipeo, ne prehladim od studeni svog straha i samoće.””
