    Philip Pullman
    “I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them.”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,

    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
