      Ole hyvässä rauhassa, Teemu, ja hellitäppä taasen viulustasi iloinen polska!
      Be in peace, Teemu, and let your violin play a jolly polska again!
    • 1994, Anja Angel, Vaitiolo taattu, WSOY, →ISBN, page 35:
      Mattoa läimiessään hän päätti ottaa taiteilijanimekseen Timin. Teemu oli lapsesta saakka inhonnut nimeään. Mielessään hän oli yhdistänyt Teemun tossuun, kunnes Teemu Selänne oli alkanut pärjätä kiekkokaukalossa.
      He decided to take Tim as his pen name while beating the carpet. Teemu had loathed his name since childhood. He had always associated the name Teemu with a slipper, until Teemu Selänne had begun to do well in ice hockey.
