Toga Quote by Uzeir Hadžibeg
““U mene ti sa djecom ovako hoda: Ha su počeli svoje živote živjet’ prest’o sam se brinut’. Što sam im'o dao sam 'im, što sam znao rek’o sam i što sam umio pokaz’o sam 'im. Sad je do njih. Nek’ i oni deveraju k'o što smo mi deverali, jer svak’ ima pravo na svoj dever, k'o što ima pravo i na svoju sreću. Kako je kome suđeno i kako se ko potrudi, bezbeli.. Matere su drugačije, njih briga ne popušća, meščini, dok god dišu.””
