“Life is a train, get on board.”

“People get ready there's a train comin';
You don't need no baggage, just get on board.
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin';
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord.”

Curtis Mayfield (1942–1999) American singer, songwriter, and record producer

“Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
I think it's time to board another
Please understand, I never had a secret chart
to get me to the heart of this
or any other matter”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter

“What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on?”
