"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."
- J.R.R. Tolkien

And this one, just for laughs:
"Every great story seems to begin with a snake."
- Nicholas Cage, of all people

Feel free to add if you like. I'm not one to live my life by quotes but they can be helpful in times where inspiration is needed or even a nice laugh.

Very good quotes. Thank you for sharing them.

Also wanted to say, I'm pretty sure Nicolas cage was speaking about the lie-ble story but it is very true for us here even he meant it unintentionally. Well technically the story of humanity started with the Serpent/Kundalini so that's kind of neat.

INFJ detected xDDDD

Great stuff! It makes me happy to see and read great thinkers of the world shared their wisdom and insights with us. I’m not as well read as I would like to be but usually you can tell the quality of a person and what point in life they are at right now (how they feel about whatever) just by the quotes they hold dear.

Lovely.

What about that?

“Adversity is what makes man great. We’d be weak and useless if the gods were always swooping in.” – Old Man ( Blood of Zeus animated series )

i guess i kinda like this series but it still got some bullshit in it that pisses me right off. Apollo, for example, is depicted as having tan skin. Absolute blasphemy.
