"Tää on ollut oudon ja fantastisen ystävälle niin tiukkaa settiä että suosittelen jo tämän perusteella, jo alkuosa on lukemisen arvoinen koska on esikoisteoksesta kyse. Toivon tietenkin että loput on yhtä kovaa tavaraa ja meno kovenee." — Sep 09, 2026 01:08PM

Jonas’s Quotes

“Thieves! Fire! Murder! Such a thing had not happened since he first came to the Mountain! His rage passed description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“We know this much is true, and it’s true for all souls: each of us will one day find the feast finished and, fattened or famished, step slowly backward into their own dark hall for that final night of sleep.”
― Maria Dahvana Headley, Beowulf: A New Translation

“Each of us must find our work and do it. Militancy no longer means guns at high noon, if it ever did. It means actively working for change, sometimes in the absence of any surety that change is coming. It means doing the unromantic and tedious work necessary to forge meaningful coalitions, and it means recognizing which coalitions are possible and which coalitions are not. It means knowing that coalition, like unity, means the coming together of whole, self-actualized human beings, focused and believing, not fragmented automatons marching to a prescribed step. It means fighting despair.”
― Audre Lorde, The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House

“For fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it’s true. Children know that. Adults know it too and that’s precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living. They are afraid of dragons because they are afraid of freedom.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Language of the Night: Essays on Fantasy and Science Fiction

“Muistot ovat lepattavia varjoja, puolikkaita lauseita. Tiedän, että joskus polkua kehystivät talvi-illassa palavat lyhdyt, ja että kesällä joku juoksi täällä paljain jaloin ja nauroi. Valoisana iltana joku lämmitti saunaa ja ilma tuoksui savulta ja koivunlehdiltä.

Kuulen viimeiset, väsyneet askeleet vastakkaiseen suuntaan ja maistan jäähyväisten kitkeryyden.

Haistan tuomenkukkien tuoksun ja siihen solmitun lupauksen.

Kymmeniä, satoja, tuhansia polkua pitkin kulkeneita.

Niin monia ennen minua, ja viimein enää kaksi: ne, joiden jälkeen talvi on jäänyt yksin, eikä kukaan ole palannut sitä noutamaan.”
― Vehka Kurjenmiekka, Kellopelisydän
