Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul? ↗

You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for. ↗

Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. ↗

You thought you’d never give up your vocation, a voice whispered inside me. You thought you’d never even consider it. But you’ve met the one man who could change your mind. He is your perfect complement. He is Cathal to your Clodagh; he is Bran to your Liadan. No wonder you conjured up those images. No wonder they make you weep. ↗

(...) Ο Θεός έχει μεταμορφωθεί σ'έναν απομακρυσμένο Γενικό Διευθυντή του Σύμπαντος Α.Ε. Ξέρετε ότι βρίσκεται εκεί, διευθύνει το πρόγραμμα (αν και θα μπορούσε ασφαλώς να εκτελείται και χωρίς αυτόν), ποτέ δεν τον βλέπετε, αλλά αναγνωρίζετε την ηγεσία του ενώ "εκτελείτε το μέρος σας". ↗

Really good writing has purpose and that purpose should be to shape other minds to desire truth and a more noble purpose in life and to become more thoughtful and knowledgable about important things like being kind and loving towards all living beings on our planet and not just humans but all animals. ↗

While some of my closest friends were jocks, it seemed that they spoke a different language with each other. Joining in their conversation was fraught with risk. ↗

Men who fear demons see demons everywhere. ↗

But Sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of Men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to Middle-earth and to Mordor that was his home. There he took up again his great Ring in Barad-dur, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure. ↗

— J.R.R. Tolkien

I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped. ↗
