    Annie Proulx
    “She straightened up the trailer, ran the vacuum cleaner over the braided rug, spread a clean tablecloth and put fresh shelf paper in the kitchen cupboards. That was a little job. In the old days she would have stuffed the dirty paper in the stove and burned it. The electric stove was clean but it couldn’t dry socks, burn paper, raise bread or provide comfort. Cost money to run it. They called it progress.”

    “When I'm hung-over I try to imagine being old and look- ing back fondly on now, on this bit I'm currently living, and how in retrospect it might seem adventurous.

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air, I am he that walks unseen.

    I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number.

    I am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me.

    I am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. I am Ringwinner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
