Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

When life lands a hammer blow in your face, do your best to respond to the hammer as if it had been a cream pie.”

“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
