“BOOKS MAY NOT CHANGE OUR SUFFERING,
BOOKS MAY NOT PROTECT US FROM EVIL, BOOKS MAY NOT TELL US WHAT IS GOOD OR WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL, AND THEY WILL CERTAINLY NOT SHIELD US FROM THE COMMON FATE OF THE GRAVE. BUT BOOKS GRANT US MYRIAD POSSIBILITIES: THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGE, THE POSSIBILITY OF
ILLUMINATION”
(via books-on-the-floor)
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.
