“In their light we are dimmed, or we burn with too quick a flame, and the weight of our doom lies the heavier on us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Children of Hurin / The Silmarillion / Unfinished Tales

“It is a word. Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man's will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

“Sometimes love is like a flower. If the seed is planted too deeply, then it may never see sunlight. If too shallowly, it may be eaten by a passing bird. If the conditions are not conducive, if there is not enough sun or rain or if the soil is not fertile enough, or a hundred other reasons, then the seed will not flourish. That is not the fault of the seed. Sometimes conditions are simply not ripe.”
― Lindz McLoed

“Please, don't be afraid of being happy. Becoming happy isn't the same thing as accepting your current misfortune. It means creating a new happiness out of your current misfortune.”
