    Йордан Радичков
    “Да крачиш пешком по света, като си подсвиркваш небрежно с уста - мигар може да има нещо по-красиво от това! И най-нехайно можеш да пъхнеш ръце в джобовете си, и с най-нехаен вид да крачиш по полето. Облак смръщи чело, удари гръм и плисне дъжд, а ти вървиш пешком и си подсвиркваш небрежно с уста, нищо че са ти мокри ушите от дъжда. Виелица се свие и преспи вълчи вдига, а ти вървиш през преспите пешком, като си подсвиркваш най-небрежно - мигар може нещо по-красиво от това да се измисли! И ей я бледата зеленина, показва мълчаливо своя нос, пчела жужи по нацъфтелите ливади, а пешеходецът върви пеша между пчелите, тревата бавно се изправя подир петите му и цялото поле дъхти на билка. Дълбоко вдишва пешеходецът миризмите на младата трева и си подсвирква най-небрежно.”
    Yordan Radichkov, Ние, врабчетата

    Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
