Toga Quote by Senko Karuza
““Postaje nam jasno da i ovo malo što nas okružuje na ovom našem otoku uglavnom predstavlja višak i teret, nimalo drugačiji od onog glamuroznog velegradskog. Postaje nam odjednom jasno da je raj pustinja, a rajski otok onaj na koji smo zaboravili dovući svoj beskrajno težak teret koji se sastoji od svega što nam ne treba niti će nam ikada trebati, ali umiremo od nesigurnosti ako ga ne vučemo sa sobom.””
