“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”

“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.

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

A dancing smile glinted in his eyes. "I think," he said, "that you are breathtakingly functional.”
