Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien

“Some who have read the book, or at any rate reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible; and I have no reason to complain, since I have similar opinions of their work, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer.”

“Θέλω να έρθω μαζί σας". Το αγόρι τράβηξε το κορίτσι πίσω καχύποπτα. "Αν έρθεις μαζί μας, εδώ δεν ξανάρχεσαι". Θα έλεγε κανείς ότι το λογικό θα ήταν να κάνει μεταβολή και να φύγει.

“Will I ever realize the American Dream? Maybe, if I keep dreaming, hoping and working harder and harder every single day, and being mindful of the fact that the American Dream, just like genius and success, is, in Thomas Edison’s words, “one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration” (BrainyQuote). Just because some people realize the American Dream at an early age doesn’t mean others will never realize it a little bit later, sometimes when they almost stop dreaming. The American Dream has no deadline. For millions of immigrants who traveled thousands of miles – either by air, or by boat, by walking, or even by swimming – to reach the land of opportunity and the land of the free, the Dream is, like hope, the last thing to die.”
