The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.
Side? I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side, little orc.

The wild is where you find it, not in some distant world relegated to a nostalgic past or an idealized future; its presence is not black or white, bad or good, corrupted or innocent... We are of that nature, not apart from it. We survive because of it, not instead of it.
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
There’s some good on this world - and it’s worth fighting for.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
There is an ancient conversation going on between mosses and rocks, poetry to be sure. About light and shadow and the drift of continents. This is what has been called the dialect of moss on stone - an interface of immensity and minute ness, of past and present, softness and hardness, stillness and vibrancy, yin and yang.
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.
“Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”
“Mushrooms were the roses in the garden of that unseen world....”
