Gud er høyt der oppe, og tsaren er langt unna.

Språk er mot: evnen til å tenke seg en tanke, uttrykke den, og dermed la den bli virkelighet.

Many that live deserve death; and some that die deserve life. Can you give that to them Frodo? Then do not be so quick to deal out death in judgement. Even the wise cannot see all ends.

I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king
