    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

    Like fragile tiny shells
    Drifting in the foam

    Come marching home

    Comes marching home”

    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “I have an apple that thinks its a pear. And a bun that thinks it’s a cat. And a lettuce that thinks its a lettuce."
    "It’s a clever lettuce, then."
    "Hardly," she said with a delicate snort. "Why would anything clever think it’s a lettuce?"
    "Even if it is a lettuce?" I asked.
    "Especially then," she said. "Bad enough to be a lettuce. How awful to think you are a lettuce too.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
