― Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

“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

“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
― Italo Calvino, The Uses of Literature

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
