Toga Quote by Yukio Mishima
““Svoju patnju, koju prihvatam, moram da prihvatim kao dragocenost. Ne postoji nijedan ispirač zlata koji iskopava samo zlato. Ispirač vadi pesak sa korita reke, naslepo, ne razmišljajući šta će da izvadi iz vode. On bi voleo da je u pesku i zlato, ali možda ga uopšte neće biti, on mora da se pomiri sa time. Niko nema povlasticu da unapred odabere ono što želi.””
