"I am in no way surprised this book is so good, but also, IT IS SO GOOD! There is enough comfort and hope for justice that the infuriating INjustice of the abuse pulls you in, rather than away. It's going to be ok in the end, I think. :)" — Feb 19, 2026 12:59PM

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”

“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
