More Quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien:
I will not debate with you Dark Elf. By the swords of the Noldor alone are your sunless woods defended. Your freedom to wander there wild you owe to my kin and but for them long since you would have laboured in thraldom in the pits of Angband. And here I am King and whether you will it or will it not my doom is law. This choice is given to you: abide here or to die here and so also for your son.J.R.R. Tolkien

For a moment still as stone she stood, then turning swiftly she was gone.
J.R.R. Tolkien

All shall love me and despair.
J.R.R. Tolkien
