Met the famous: saints and sinners

Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books."  - Unknown

10th Quote

All that is gold does not glitter;

all that is long does not last;

All that is old does not wither;

not all that is over is past.

Not all that have fallen are vanquished;

a king may yet be without crown,

A blade that was broken be brandished;

and towers that were strong may fall down

- Original draft of "All that is gold does not glitter" poem by J.R.R. Tolkien.
