April

“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

“Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.”
― John A. Shedd

― Michael Cunningham, The Hours
