“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“Strange, the things you remember. The people, the places, the moments in time burned into your heart forever, while others fade in the mist. I've always known I've lived a life different from other men. And when I was a lad, I saw no path before me. I simply took a step and then another. Ever forward, ever onward… Rushing towards some place, I know not where. And one day, I turned around, and looked back, and saw that each step I'd taken was a choice. To go left, to go right, to go forward, or even not go at all. Everyday, every man has a choice, between right and wrong, between love and hate… sometimes, between life and death.
And the sum of those choices becomes your life. The day I realized that, I became a man.” ~ Outlander, James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser”
― Diana Gabaldon

“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they're going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there's going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don't know how many branches it's going to have, they find out as it grows. And I'm much more a gardener than an architect.”
― George R.R. Martin
