“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains in the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and under star, Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar. Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have known.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

“Each man's master is the person who has the authority over what the man wishes or does not wish, so as to secure it, or take it away.”
