the man who fears losing has already lost

i am one with the force and the force is with me

but no living man am i! you are looking upon a woman. éowyn am i, eomund’s daughter. you stand between me and my lord and kin. begone, if you be not deathless! for living or dark undead, i will smite you, if you touch him.

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wonder are lost; the old that is strong does not whiter, deep roots are not 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.

So long as there was magic, anything could happen. Ghosts could walk, trees could talk, and broken boys could grow up to be knights. “But there isn’t,” he said aloud in the darkness of his bed. “There’s no magic, and the stories are just stories.” And he would never walk, nor fly, nor be a knight.

The Queen’s Justice

Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark in The Queen’s Justice.

but sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to middle-earth and to mordor that was his home. there he took up again his great ring in barad-dur, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the eye of sauron the terrible few could endure.
