Toga Quote by Rumi
““Sinovi mnogih plemenitih ljudi su osramotili svoje očeve sa svojim rdjavim djelima Ne računaj takodje ni na osobu koja je obdarena talentima, čak i kada izgleda izvrsna u tom pogledu uzmi poduku iz iblisovog primjera on je posjedovao znanje ali budući da njegova ljubav nije bila čista u Ademu je samo vidio figuru od ilovače””
