| 4a6907f | Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains of the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and under star, Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar.

Faith that the world will not destroy you. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 0d1e0a5 | Oh, if only it were possible to find understanding," Joseph exclaimed. "If only there were a dogma to believe in.
