Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
