“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”

― The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx
“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.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
