    “Even in a book of lies sometimes you find truth. There is indeed a season for all things and now that I see you flesh-to-flesh and blood-to-blood I know I cannot raise my hand against you. But know this, you are my greatest disappointment. Does your master hear me? Atlas! You can kill me, but you will never have my city. My strength is not in steel and fire, that is what the parasites will never understand. A season for all things! A time to live and a time to die, a time to build... and a time to destroy!”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “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.”

    “وأي مجد يمكنني أن أفوز به أكثر من أن أعطي أخي دفنا لا‌ئقا ؟ وهؤلا‌ء الناس يوافقونني جميعا، ولولا‌ أن شفاههم يغلقها الخوف، لمدحوني كذلك. يا لحظ الطغاة، إنهم يملكون امتيازات القوة، القوة الفاسدة، وهي أن يرغموا الناس
    على قول وفعل كل ما يرضيهم!
