“Your hair has turned white
While your heart stayed
Knotted against me.
I shall never
Loosen it now.”

“Your commanders have ordered you to storm the White House and to arrest me. But I as the elected President of Russia give you the order to turn your tanks and not to fight against your own people.”

“To silver may age never turn your hair!
And may I ever keep the looks of youth!”

“There is an alternative to war. It's staying in bed and growing your hair.”

“Because your eyes are slant and slow,
Because your hair is sweet to touch,
My heart is high again; but oh,
I doubt if this will get me much.”

“As it turns out, you can function while your heart is being torn to shreds.”

“All knots that lovers tie
Are tied to sever.
Here shall your sweetheart lie,
Untrue for ever.”

“Run a hand through your hair, like the white boys do, even though the only thing that runs easily through your hair is Africa.”

“When I am dead and over me bright April
Shakes out her rain-drenched hair,
Tho' you should lean above me broken-hearted,
I shall not care. I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful
When rain bends down the bough,
And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted
Than you are now.”

“If your memory serves you well, I was gonna confiscate your lace and wrap it up in a sailor's knot and hide it in your case.
And if I knew for sure that it was yours, it was oh so hard to tell, and you know that we shall meet again, if your memory serves you well.”
