    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

    “People say that love and death are two common and universal human journeys. There is a difference though, love is more powerful and lasts longer. A body is taken only once but love can be given a thousand times. Ask how someone died the answer is finite, ask how they loved, the answer is infinite.”
