“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

“You are human and mortal; we are the sum of our weak moments and our strong.”
― Mercedes Lackey, The Black Gryphon

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
