    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

    Gautama Buddha

    than the man who would conquer
    a thousand-thousand men,
    is he who would conquer
    just one —
    himself.
    Better to conquer yourself
    than others.
    When you've trained yourself,
    living in constant self-control,
    neither a deva nor gandhabba,
    nor a Mara banded with Brahmas,
    could turn that triumph
    back into defeat.”
    Buddha

    Charles Bukowski
    “I like women who haven’t lived with too many men.
    I don’t expect virginity but I simply prefer women
    who haven’t been rubbed raw by experience.
    There is a quality about women who choose
    men sparingly;
    it appears in their walk
    in their eyes
    in their laughter and in their
    gentle hearts.
    Women who have had too many men
    seem to choose the next one
    out of revenge rather than with
    feeling.
    When you play the field selfishly everything
    works against you:
    one can’t insist on love or
    demand affection.
    You’re finally left with whatever
    you have been willing to give
    which often is:
    nothing.”
    Charles Bukowski

    Robin Roe
    “It's strange how many ways there are to miss someone. You miss the things they did and who they were, but you also miss who you were to them. The way everything you said and did was beautiful or entertaining or important. How much you mattered”
    Robin Roe, A List of Cages
