    “I can dive", Sophia said. "Do you know what it feels like when you dive?"
    Of course I do," her grandmother said. "You let go of everything and get ready and just dive. You can feel the seaweed against your legs. It's brown, and the water's clear, lighter towards the top, with lots of bubbles. And you glide. You hold your breath and glide and turn and come up, let yourself rise and breathe out. And then you float. Just float."
    And all the time with your eyes open," Sophia said.
    Naturally. People don't dive with their eyes shut."
    Do you believe I can dive without me showing you?" the child asked.
    Yes, of course", Grandmother said.”

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

    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
