“I don't know how to say it, but after last night I feel different. I seem to see ahead, in a kind of way. I know we are going to take a very long road, into darkness; but I know I can't turn back. It isn't right to see Elves now, nor dragons, nor mountains, that I want - I don't rightly know what I want: but I have something to do before the end, and it lies ahead, not in the Shire.

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. And if wisdom were given me under the express condition that it must be kept hidden and not uttered, I should refuse it.

― Seneca, Moral Letters to Lucilius: Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium

“I've given up asking questions. l merely float on a tsunami of acceptance of anything life throws at me ... and marvel stupidly.”
