“Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“I put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
