“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“Thomas Edison's last words were "It's very beautiful over there". I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.”
