“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors - that which it loves, and also that which it fears.”
― James Allen, As A Man Thinketh and The Way of Peace

“The times grow less dark for all the races, because within the culture, too, is memory, and understanding of what works and what does not. when those lessons are forgotten, the circle winds its way backward, and when they are remembered, society moves forward, and with each cycle, with each affirmation that which is good and that which is evil, the starting point of the next lesson is a bit closer to goodness. It is a long roll, this circle, but it is rolling in the direction of justice and goodness, for all of us. It is not hard to look back on history and see atrocities committed on a grand scale that horrify the sensibilities of the folk of this day but where simply accepted or deemed necessary by folk in days more superstitious and unenlightened”
― R.A. Salvatore

“I was a fucking child,” I seethe, voice low and dangerous. “I didn’t need to be stronger; I needed to be safe.”
― J. Rose
