"Of course Tolkien would write a NINETEEN page letter (#131 to Milton Waldman) giving "a brief sketch of my stuff that is connected with my imaginary world" and of course it would make for the perfect preface/introduction to The Silmarillion.

I am both in awe and terrified of the Professor"

“While Ma was alive, whenever we did something we weren’t supposed to, our relatives would bring Ma’s feelings into it, as if she was easy to hurt. But she wasn’t. It didn’t matter now. Now she was gone, our capacity to hurt her seemed infinite.”
Chetna Maroo, Western Lane

Elif Shafak
“in this land where the stones are ancient and the stories are spoken but rarely written down, it is the rivers that govern the days of our lives. Many kings have come and many kings have gone, and God knows most were ruthless, but here in Mesopotamia, my love, never forget the only true ruler is water.”
Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky

Elif Shafak
“Hatred is a poison served in three cups. The first is when people despise those they desire—because they want to have them in their possession. It’s all out of hubris! The second is when people loathe those they do not understand. It’s all out of fear! Then there is the third kind—when people hate those they have hurt.”
Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky

Elif Shafak
“Words are like birds, when you publish books you are setting caged birds free. They can go wherever they please. They can fly over the highest walls and across vast distances, settling in mansions of gentry, in farmsteads and laborers' cottages alike. You never know whom those words will reach, whose hearts will succumb to their sweet songs.”
Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky

“Let’s be older when we meet again,” Misaki said. “What?” “Not just in years. Let’s be better, and wiser, and brighter next time.”
M.L. Wang, The Sword of Kaigen
