Favorite Quotes: Too many, far too many...I'll just pick one (long) one by Tolkien: "Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?" "A great Shadow has departed," said Gandalf, and then he laughed and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land; and as he listened the thought came to Sam that he had not heard laughter, the pure sound of merriment, for days upon days without count. <br/> <center><p><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.librarything.com/jswidget.php?reporton=alyosha-moss&show=random&header=1&num=7&covers=small-fixed-width&text=none&onlycovers=1&tag=alltags&css=1&style=5&version=1"> </script></p></center>
