Toga Quote by Ranko Marinković
““Ja poštujem uspravnost, ljudsko dostojanstvo! Zgrčeni kreten u limenoj kanti šro juri ulicama - zar je to još čovjek? Pilji preda se, oči su mu iskočile iz duplja kao ludom vjerniku, ne smije se osvrtati jer će se pretvoriti ne u biblijski stup već u hrpu željeza i govana... A žuri mu se u budućnost, ha-ha...””
