“It's the wheel of the world - turning around.”

Carrie Underwood (1983) American country music singer

From Wheel of the World from the album Carnival Ride (2007). [Misattributed: performer not credited as writer.]

“We can't go back, Mat. The Wheel has turned, for better or worse. And it will keep turning, as lights die and forests dim, storms call and skies break. Turn it will. The Wheel is not hope, and the Wheel does not care, the Wheel simply is. But so long as it turns, folk may hope, folk may care. For with light that fades, another will eventually grow, and each storm that rages must eventually die. As long as the Wheel turns. As long is it turns….”

Robert Jordan (1948–2007) American writer

To something new, to something strange”
