    Bernard Cornwell
    “Love is a dangerous thing. It comes in disguise to change our life... Lust is the deceiver. Lust wrenches our lives until nothing matters except the one we think we love, and under that deceptive spell we kill for them, give all for them, and then, when we have what we have wanted, we discover that it is all an illusion and nothing is there. Lust is a voyage to nowhere, to an empty land, but some men just love such voyages and never care about the destination. Love is a voyage too, a voyage with no destination except death, but a voyage of bliss.”
    ― Bernard Cornwell, Sword Song

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    Leonard Cohen
    “And I'll dance with you in Vienna,
    I'll be wearing a river's disguise.
    The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
    my mouth on the dew of your thighs.
    And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
    with the photographs there and the moss.
    And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty,
    my cheap violin and my cross.”
    ― Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs
