Toga Quote by Nikos Kazantzakis
““Mladost je slepa, kljubovalna zver, ki je lačna, a ne je, ker se sramuje jesti; ki ji ni treba drugega, kakor da namigne vedno naklonjeni ji sreči, ko gre mimo po cesti, naj se ustavi, a ji ne namigne; ki pušča, da tok časa brez haska odteče mimo nje, kakor da bi bil voda - taka zver, ki ne ve, da je zver, je mladost.””
