“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

“Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a good man goes to war

When a good man goes to war

Demons run, but count the cost
The battle's won, but the child is lost”
― Steven Moffat
