Toga Quote by Randy Pausch
““U redu, možda ovo zvuči malo uvrnuto. Ali ako vaša kanta za smeće ili tačke imaju kakvu ulupinu, nećete kupovati nove. Možda je to zato jer vam kante za smeće i tačke ne služe kao simboli socijalnog statusa i identiteta. Za Jai i mene naši su oštećeni automobili postali potvrda našeg braka. Ne treba se baš sve popraviti.””
