Toga Quote by Rumi
““Nada sliči gluhom čovjeku koji je često imao prilike da sluša o nečijoj smrti ali nije nikada o svojoj vlastitoj, niti ikada meditirao o svom vlastitom svršetku Slijep čovjek je poput pohlepe on, do u najmanje sitnice vidja mahane drugih prenosi ih na sve strane, ali je slijep za svoje vlastite””
