Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.

“Muster the Rohirrim! Assemble the army at Dunharrow, as many men as can be found. You have two days. On the third, we ride for Gondor. And war.”

The world is not in your books and maps. It’s out there.

Night Watch (Terry Pratchett)

“We’ve learned to easily forgive aggression and arrogance in men but to take exceptions at the presence of humility or sensitivity. We are accustomed to seeing men who are quick to violence and slow to diplomacy. Newt is a significant departure from this trend. His version of manhood doesn’t stem from this physical strength or combat skills or feats of daring do or even some preordained mystic destiny like so many other male heroes. He’s sincere, nurturing, emotional, and sensitive. Critically that sensitivity is framed as strength rather than a weakness.”

“The Letters of JRR Tolkien”, letter #246 (September 1963)

SLYTHERIN: “Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them!… My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!” -Terry Pratchett (The Wee Free Men)

The land of Númenor resembled in outline a five-pointed star, or pentangle, with a central portion some two hundred and fifty miles across, north and south, and east and west, from which extended five large peninsular promontories. These promontories were regarded as separate regions, and they were named Forostar (Northlands), Andustar (West-lands), Hyarnustar (Southwestlands), Hyarrostar (South-eastlands), and Orrostar (Eastlands). The central portion was called Mittalmar (Inlands), and it had no coast, except the land about Rómenna and the head of its firth. A small part of the Mittalmar was, however, separated from the rest, and called Arandor, the Kingsland. In Arandor were the haven of Rómenna, the Meneltarma, and Armenelos, the City of the Kings; and it was at all times the most populous region of Númenor.
