Toga Quote by Srđan Valjarević
““Prođem pored jednog popa u Kajmakčalanskoj i pazi, ne radi se o popu, to je u redu, ali moram to da kažem, moji bogovi su bili živi ljudi, živeli su i žive na Zemlji, i svi su nešto činili na ovom svetu. I meni su mnogo toga olakšali. Danilo Kiš, Dušan Radović, Marsel Dišan, Čarli Parker, i da ne spominjem više ta imena, to je tako dosadno, važno je da je tih ljudi bilo, da ih je bilo dovoljno. Živi ljudi, moji bogovi.””
