    William Shakespeare
    “Cowards die many times before their deaths;
    The valiant never taste of death but once.

    It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
    Seeing that death, a necessary end,
    Will come when it will come.”

    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
