Toga Quote by Momo Kapor
““I pored svih očiglednih prednosti Beograda nad drugim gradovima, uvek se nađe neko zakeralo iz provincije, koje u podne, usred terazijske gužve, kaže sa gađenjem: „E, ne bih živeo u Beogradu da mi svakog dana daju po milion!” Najpre, niti ga ko tera da živi ovde, niti mu ko, uopšte, nudi milion!””
