Anke

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“You are your best thing”

“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
