"We live in a wondrous time, in which the strong are weak because of their scruples, and the weak grow strong because of their audacity." - Otto Von Bismarck

"There are four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love."

"The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain."

"Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication."

"There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything."

"The beginning of atonement is the sense of its necessity." - Lord Byron

"I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.

*Saint Augustine

The Lament for the Rohirrim

Where now is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?

Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?

Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?

Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?

They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;

The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
