Quotes by Elina Karjalainen (?)

“Ihmiset tahtovat kaikenlaista,
vieraita tavaroita vieraista maista.
Pian ovat kaapit täynnä kamaa
Elämä on kuitenkin yhtä ja samaa.
Ei iloon tarvitse tavaraa hankkia,
siihen ei tarvita edes pankkia.”
― Elina Karjalainen

“Tuoksussa tässä on outoa taikaa.
Miten voi tuoksua yhtä aikaa:
hunajalta,
apilalta,
raukkauden räiskeeltä,
suukkosien mäiskeeltä,
talvelta ja kesältä,
pikkulinnun pesältä.”
― Elina Karjalainen, Uppo-Nallen kootut runot

“Ihana uni on sellainen jossa
ruukussa kasvaa luita,
makeita häränhäntiä
ja koiranherkkuja muita.

Ihana uni on sellainen jossa
taikakynän saisin.
Silläpä maailman kauneimman runon
heti kirjottaisin.”
