    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.”

But you do it because you want to? Then you're an artist...You can take that to the grave and dig it up when you need it.”

    Maybe they won't let you
    Dry the dishes anymore”
