#i may start translating rather a lot  of this

I ná tiessë vanya ëa vanya immassë ar arwa mettaryo immassë, ar laitalë lá asta immava. Lá ulca hya mána engwë acárië laitalenen … Ma ná mírë vë laicamiril hastaina qui uas alaitië?

***

Whatever is in any way beautiful is beautiful in itself and has its end in itself, and praise is no part of it. Neither worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised … Is a jewel like an emerald damaged if it is not praised?

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
