Ingeborg (Ivy)

“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

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.”
― Kobayashi Issa, Poems

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa
