“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

“Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.”

“if you wanted to do something absolutely honest, something true, it always turned out to be a thing that had to be done alone.”
