    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “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

    “A chill settled over Birdie. She had caught glimpses of her face before—once in the watering trough in the Sylvan Swan’s stable after she had given it a good scrubbing, another time in the birch-shaded pool beside the road to Hardale. There was no doubt that the face on the parchment resembled her own, but there were slight differences. It was older than the face she remembered, older than she could look now. Stunning in a way one was not likely to forget. But there was something about the eyes that captivated her, caused her to reach out her hand and trace the line of one arching brow.
    Such strength there, such confidence.
    This was not the face of one with fear caged in her chest.”

    “Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”

    “The Road goes ever on and on
    Down from the door where it began.
    Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow, if I can,
    Pursuing it with eager feet,
    Until it joins some larger way
    Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say”

    “Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
    Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
    Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
    One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
    One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”

    “Watch it,” he says, now a decimetre away. “Or you might lose your temper. Seems you’ve almost found it. And wouldn’t it be a pity to lose something you’ve only just discovered?”

    “You are impossible.” Why am I still standing here?

    “I think you mean impassible,” he says, blocking my way. “Nothing’s impossible. Including, but not limited to, you. Least of all you, in fact. You are anything but impossible. You are perhaps the most possible girl I have ever had the privilege to encounter.”

    “It was said that the light was spoken into being by a single word, filling the darkness, creating something out of nothing, warmth out of cold, life out of death. It was said to be a light of creation, of laughter, of imagination and form and perfection.

    Of love.”

    “The Man met her gaze, almost as if He had heard her thoughts. “The Mist is not merely a physical darkness. It is an evil that infects the very soul, like an illness would the body.” He gave her a warm smile, His eyes piercing through her own soul. “I have come for those who are sick and desperate for healing. The world is ill with the greatest of diseases, and I am the Great Physician.”
