Toga Quote by Ranko Marinković
““Istina? Istina je ono što ljudi mogu vjerovati, a ljudi opet vjeruju zato što im je to zbog nečeg potrebno. Kao i svaki drugi ljudski proizvod, i istina zadovoljava neke ljudske potrebe. Pa ako ljudi doista imaju potrebu za čudesima, oni će ih prihvatiti kao istine. Samo, to je pitanje: postoji li takva potreba?””
