    “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.”

    “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.”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “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!”

    Charles Baudelaire
    “I love to watch the fine mist of the night come on,
    The windows and the stars illumined, one by one,
    The rivers of dark smoke pour upward lazily,
    And the moon rise and turn them silver. I shall see
    The springs, the summers, and the autumns slowly pass;
    And when old Winter puts his blank face to the glass,
    I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight,
    And build me stately palaces by candlelight.”
    Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal

    Charles Baudelaire
    “Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici ! trop tard ! jamais peut-être !
    Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais,
    Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais !”
    Charles Beaudelaire

    Guy de Maupassant
    “I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love. I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light. The owl flies by night, a dark shadow passing through the darkness; he hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as though he delights in the intoxicating black immensity of space. ”
    Guy de Maupassant
