“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

“There weren’t many people in this world who would let you be vulnerable and still believe you were strong.”
― Rob Thomas, The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line

“Children will not be patient if you pontificate or meader or self-congratulate. Rather, children's fiction necessitates distillation: at its best, it renders in their purest, most archetypal forms hope, hunger, joy, fear. Think of children's books as literary vodka.”
― Katherine Rundell, Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
