    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

    Niko Lortkipanidze
    “ბედნიერია ვინც, სასარგებლოსა და სასიამოვნოს შორის 'ზღვარის" დადებას მოახერხებს.
    სასარგებლოს - პატივისცემა, დახმარება, სასიამოვნოს -სიყვარული, თაყვანისცემა.
    რათ მინდა პატივისცემა, თვით ცაც რათ მინდა, თუ სიყვარული თან არ დაჰყვება.”
