“Tolkien understood about the things that happen after the end. Because this is after the end, this is all the Scouring of the Shire, this is figuring out how to live in the time that wasn’t supposed to happen after the glorious last stand.

― Jo Walton, Among Others

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
