“But the delight of Earth, the wonder of it; the essential feeling as of the necessity for magic; that juggling with the golden moon and silver sun (such are they) that is man's universal pastime: these are the things to seek in the Kalevala. All the world to wheel about in, the Great Bear to play with and Orion and the Seven Stars all dangling magically in the branches of a silver birch enchanted by Väinämöinen; the splendid sorcerous scandalous villains of old to tell of when you have bathed in the 'Sauna' after binding the kine at close of day into pastures of little Suomi in the Marshes.”

“Siinä vanha Väinämöinen itse tuon sanoiksi virkki: "Anna, Luoja, suo, Jumala, anna onni ollaksemme, hyvin ain' eleäksemme, kunnialla kuollaksemme, suloisessa Suomenmaassa, kaunihissa Karjalassa! Varjele, vakainen Luoja, kaitse, kaunoinen Jumala, miesten mielijuohtehista, akkojen ajatuksista! Kaa'a maalliset katehet, ve'elliset velhot voita! Ole puolla poikiesi, aina lastesi apuna, aina yöllisnä tukena, päivällisnä vartijana, vihoin päivän paistamatta, vihoin kuun kumottamatta, vihoin tuulen tuulematta, vihoin saamatta satehen, pakkasen palelematta, kovan ilman koskematta! Aita rautainen rakenna, kivilinna liitättele, ympäri minun eloni, kahen puolen kansoani, maasta saaen taivosehen, taivosesta maahan asti, asukseni, ainokseni, tuekseni, turvakseni, jottei liika liioin söisi, vastus viljalta vitaisi, sinä ilmoisna ikänä, kuuna kullan valkeana!”

“Many Hollywoodians may have good taste and an interest in culture but they certainly hide it. They're afraid they'll be branded as sissies if someone finds out they write poetry or own a painting. They're so timid about culture.”
