„All is gone, all is gone, admit it, take flight.I gagged twice, doubled, tears blinding my sight.My mind it was mangled, I ran into the nightLeaving all of love’s ashes behind me.The wind knocks my window, the room it is wet.The words to say I’m sorry, I haven’t found yet.I think of her often and hope whoever she’s metWill be fully aware of how precious she is.Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me,”How good, how good does it feel to be free?”“

— Bob Dylan

„I had been gone a fortnight when the telegram was put into my hands. I had got a letter from my sister, a few hours before, saying that all was well at home. The telegram said in five words that she had died suddenly the previous night. There was no mention of my mother, and I was three days' journey from home.The news I got on reaching London was this: my mother did not understand that her daughter was dead, and they were waiting for me to tell her.“

„Our love affair ended in tears but a deep bond grew out of it, and that's something nobody can take away from us. It's unreachable … All my lovers ask me why they can't replace her, but it's simply impossible.I don't feel jealous of her lovers because. of course, she has a life to lead, and so do I. Basically, I try to make sure she's happy with whoever she's with and she tries to do the same for me.We look after each other and that's a wonderful form of love. I might have all the problems in the world, but I have Mary and that gets me through.“
— Freddie Mercury
