“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, The Fellowship of the Ring
“Gold to airy thinness beat.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
“Silver’s sweet and gold’s our mother, but once you’re dead they’re worth less than that last shit you take as you lie dying.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance With Dragons
“Silence is golden, and gold is up these days, so silence is a solid investment.”
― Jarod Kintz
“If gold has been prized because it is the most inert element, changeless and incorruptible, water is prized for the opposite reason -- its fluidity, mobility, changeability that make it a necessity and a metaphor for life itself. To value gold over water is to value economy over ecology, that which can be locked up over that which connects all things.”
― Rebecca Solnit, Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics
