    Yana Toboso
    “I like black for clothes, small items, and jewelry. It's a color that can't be violated by any other colors. A color that simply keeps being itself. A color that sinks more somberly than any other color, yet asserts itself more than all other colors. It's a passionate gallant color. Anything is wonderful if it transcends things rather than being halfway...”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;

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