"An interesting collection of aphorisms that at times illuminate the sea swirling around you and at others deepen the mysteries in the dark corners of your eyes. Some thoughts are so foreign that they might as well have stayed in their native tongue, while others leap out and place a mirror in front of you." — Apr 11, 2026 03:06PM

“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.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
