Misfortune always comes to those who wait. The trick is to find happiness in the brief gaps between disasters.
“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.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”

“I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot.”
