Toga Quote by Momo Kapor
““Leto, to je vreme kada na putu prema moru, kroz Beograd prolaze naši iz belog sveta, oni isti koje smo u vreme blagostanja toliko sažalјevali što se zlopate u tuđini. Stižu, istina, malo ubledeli ali elegantni, da vide šta je sa nama, siromašnim rođacima s periferije Evrope: kako smo, kako živimo?””
