“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“The sword glitters not because the swordsman set out to make it glitter but because he is fighting for his life and therefore moving it very quickly.”
― C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life

“Nothing, I suspect, is more astonishing in any man's life than the discovery that there do exist people very, very like himself.”
― C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life

“I turned my palms upward in the sunlight. In an instant, they felt warm, as though the light were seeping into the skin, soaking into the very lines of my fingerprints. The light ruled over everything out here. Bathed in light, each object glowed with the brilliant color of summer. Even intangibles such as time and memory shared the goodness of the summer light.”
― Haruki Murakami
