Toga Quote by Momo Kapor
““Šta se dogodilo za ovih poslednjih četrdeset godina u Beogradu? Ništa naročito. Stare selјanke na Zelenom vencu još me zovu sine, a devojke po kafićima mi se već obraćaju sa čiko! Moje vršnjake Beograđane zovu, zbog toga, preskočenom generacijom. Suviše mladi da bi bili narodni heroji – suviše stari da bi igrali košarku. Preskočili su nas i očevi i sopstvena deca.””
