“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

“Do I have to talk to insane people?"
"You're a librarian now. I'm afraid it's mandatory.”

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
