Toga Quote by Randy Pausch
““Nismo mnogo kupovali, ali smo štošta znali. Moj otac je posjedovao zaraznu radoznalost prema tekućim događajima, povijesti, pa i našim životima. Odrastajući, shvatio sam da postoje dva tipa obitelji: 1. One kojima treba rječnik da dovrše večeru. 2. One kojima to ne treba. Mi smo pripadali prvoj grupi. Gotovo svake večeri zbog nečega smo morali konzultirati riječnik, koji se nalazio na polici nekoliko koraka od stola. — Ako imaš kakvo pitanje - govorili su moji - onda potraži odgovor.””
