“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!”
[ J. R. R. Tolkien ]
