“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

“Resist much, obey little.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.”
― William Blake

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”
― May Sarton
