“uBlessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, 14  vfor the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than  wgold. 15 She is more precious than  xjewels, and  ynothing you desire can compare with her. 16  zLong life is in her right hand; in her left hand are  ariches and honor. 17 Her  bways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is  ca tree of life to those who  dlay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.”
― Anonymous, The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (with Cross-References): Old and New Testaments

“Ancient Author bless and keep you. May the Holy Hero be your rescuer forever. May the Story find you, through every painful passage, at home with him in the end. May you delight in his love and exalt in his victory then. May you always aspire to live as a character you admire. May you know the delight of finding out that the Story isn’t mainly about you. May you know and love the truth and be brave to obey it. May you make a hard dart at the darkness with whatever light you bring, reflecting, like the moon, a light far brighter than your own. May God give you joy!”
― S.D. Smith, Ember's End
