“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory.
If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy,
don’t we consider it his duty to escape?
. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul,
if we’re partisans of liberty,
then it’s our plain duty to escape,
and to take as many people with us as we can!”

“There,
peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tower high up in the mountains,
Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while.
The beauty of it smote his heart,
as he looked up out of the forsaken land,
and hope returned to him.
For like a shaft,
clear and cold,
the thought pierced him that in the end
the Shadow was only a small and passing thing:
there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

“What do you fear, lady?” [Aragorn] asked.
“A cage, “[Éowyn] said.
“To stay behind bars,
until use and old age accept them,
and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”
