“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

“Harvest honorably, with restraint, respect, reverence, and reciprocity.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

“I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.”
― Pierce Brown, Red Rising
