Toga Quote by Paulo Coelho
““Bio je uzbuđen i istodobno se kolebao: možda ga je djevojka već bila zaboravila. Onuda su prolazili mnogi pastiri i prodavali vunu. - Nije važno - reče mladić svojim ovcama. - I ja poznajem druge djevojke u drugim mjestima. No u dubini svoga srca znao je da je bilo važno. I da pastiri, kao mornari, kao i putujući trgovci, uvijek poznaju mjesto u kojem postoji netko tko ih može navesti da zaborave onu radost samotnog lutanja svijetom.””
