“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

― Kazuo Ishiguro, When We Were Orphans

“When you lose your parents as a child, you are indoctrinated into a club, you re taken into life's severest confidence. You are undeceived.”
― Hilary Thayer Hamann, Anthropology of an American Girl

“Even in winter, the cold isn't always bitter, and not every day is cruel.”
― Jim Butcher, Changes
