“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

“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“In the words of the poet, my heart was in the east with you, but my body was out west.”
― André Aciman, Enigma Variations

“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
