“Life is a dream from which we all must wake before we can dream again.”
― Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven

“Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it; and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic.”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

“I am in fact a Hobbit in all but size. I like gardens, trees, and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humor (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible). I do not travel much.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“Letting emotions go clouds judgment for a moment, but holding them in clouds it always.”
― Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven
