Toga Quote by Ray Bradbury
““Svatko mora ostaviti nešto iza sebe kad umre,rekao je moj djed.Dijete,knjigu,sliku,kuću,podignuti zid ili par napravljenih cipela.Ili zasađen vrt.Nešto što je tvoja ruka dodirnula na neki način tako da ti duša ima kamo otići kad umreš.Pa kad ljudi pogledaju to stablo ili taj cvijet koji si posadio,ti si u njemu.Nije važno što radiš,rekao je,bitno je da si nešto što si dodirnuo promijenio iz onog stanja u kojem je bilo prije no što si ga dotaknuo u nešto što, nakon što odmakneš ruke,nalikuje tebi.””
