“Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
― Alfred Lord Tennyson, Idylls of the King and a Selection of Poems

If that's true, I guess we're lucky not knowing it.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

“When I was your age, television was called books.”
