Quotes
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 moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to. - Carl Sandburg
She was as delicate as a butterfly's wings, as strong as a silver sword, and as beautiful as a blooming rose. - Unknown
