    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

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “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.”

    Hakan Günday
    “Ne ölüm, ne de hayat! Hiçbiri kovalamıyor beni rüyalarımda. Hiçbirinin eli bana değmiyor. Çünkü ellerim ceplerimde hiç olmadıkları kadar. Varlığıma nedensizlikten delirdim ben. Hiçbir nedeni kendime yakıştıramadığımdan. Hepsini giydim. Hiçbiri olmadı. Hepsi dar geldi. İnansaydım herhangi birine, uğruna gerekirse dünyayı kan gölüne çevirirdim. Okyanuslar kırmızı olurdu. Pıhtılaşmış kanlardan siyah dağlar yükselirdi. Ama inanamadım. Bir türlü inanamadım... Bütün hayat bir illüzyon. Benim gibi. Kayra gibi...”
