Toga Quote by Ranko Marinković
““Noć. Gluha, mračna, ratna. Odvratna. Noć je on nekoć volio zbog bdijenja, zbog razmišljanja, zbog razmatranja dana odozgo, kao složen red ili rasutu hrpu, kao sređen ili nesređen utržak dana, noćno sređivanje računa. Sada je želio da svane, da prestane to uporno kotrljanje besmislenih riječi pod njegovim uhom.””
