    J.R.R. Tolkien

    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.”

    “The man that I named the Giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love, and truth.

It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things.

    [from her Newberry Award acceptance speech]”
    Lois Lowry
