    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

    Arthur Graham
    “And the years flow past, each of them as unremarkable as the next, as unnoticed as nanoseconds, in fact, not even long enough to contain anything noticeable – centuries just barely registered as moments in space/time. Soon the millennia are passing by at a modest rate of 47 per minute, and of course all manner of things noticeable and not-so-noticeable occur along the way (though most falling into the latter category). Naturally there come periods where lying is greatly rewarded, followed by periods where lying is greatly punished (our poor unlucky editor!), along with every other conceivable and inconceivable reversal and re-reversal of standards, and…

    Wait, did anyone else just hear God yawn?”

    “I sit in the corner till you need to use me again
    I am the gatherer of leaves and grass
    and all kinds of loose messes all over your yard.
    I am a long stick with large metal claws.
    I am your loyal friend of autumn.
    I am a lawn rake.”
    ― Troy Graham, N: Volume Two

    Harry Whitewolf
    “All you want is to have hot sex,
    But after work every night,
    You’re so tired, the only thing
    You can turn on is T.V shite.
    There’s never energy for sex.
    So, oh, whatever will you do?
    Well, there is no need to worry,
    Because the system will screw you.”

    “What no school prepares you for is the fact that when you finally get to enter the adult world you’re just one of seven billion primates swinging from the trees, hurling your excrement at each other and fighting over the same tiny pot of job vacancies. Instead school teaches you everything that you don’t need to know, hands over your exam results and tells you to fuck off into the jungle to fend for yourself. No more handouts; no more free passes. Get out there and make a miracle happen. Or die.”
