”On paljon päiviä, hyviä,

  mutta joukkoon mahtuu osa hieman synkkiä,

  on silloin tärkeää,

  et osaa viheltää”

-Mieskone: Omenapuu

"But my darling says
"Leonard, just let it go by
That old silhouette
on the great western sky"
So I pick out a tune
and they move right along
and they're gone like the smoke
and they're gone like this song"

- Leonard Cohen: Ballad Of The Absent Mare

"In the twilight Rainey walked to the station along streets of stone. Through Pennsylvania and Ohio his train drifted on. Through the small towns of Indiana the big train crept, as he lay his head back on the seat and slept."

-Bruce Springsteen: Black Cowboys
