&ldquo;It&#039;s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don&#039;t keep your feet, there&#039;s no knowing where you might be swept off to.&rdquo; <br /> ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings<br /> &ldquo;There is some good in this world, and it&#039;<br /> &ldquo;A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.&rdquo; <br /> ― J.R.R. Tolkien

Walls of stone
Walls of stone
Stand alone
Skills to hone
And fates unknown

Cage of the learned few
With thoughts and words left to hew
Could they know before the coup
And build this cursed hall anew

Prisoners still not freed
In corporeal jail, but minds take heed
Ride upon the swiftest steed
To fill a minds greatest need

As this hall loses tone
Chilling all to the bone
Calling out a saddened moan
In this sepulcher of stone.

It wasn&#039;t said by me, but my favorite quote is: &quot;Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it&#039;s done, they&#039;ve seen it done every day, but they&#039;re unable to do it themselves.&quot; - Brendan Francis
