Quotes by Jānis Joņevs (?)

“Un meitenēm dzērāji patīkot (tā teica Blaumanis).”

“Kad bērns nonāk zooloģiskajā dārzā, es domāju bērns, kurš ir kaut ko lasījis un daudz domājis, kad šis bērns ierauga ziloni, viņš neko nesaka, taču nodomā - nav nemaz tik liels. To bērns nodomā pavisam klusi, jo negrib ļaut fantāzijai noskaust dzīvi. Tomēr zilonis ir mazs. Tikai vēlāk, kad fantāzija sāk piemirsties un mēs vērīgāk paskatāmies uz to ziloni, kurš klusi tusnī un kaisa sev uz galvas salmus, kad mēs pēkšņi esam šī ziloņa priekšā, mēs attopamies - cik viņš ir milzīgs!”
