“The wise speak only of what they know, Gríma son of Gálmód. A witless worm have you become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy words with a serving-man till the lightning falls.' There was a roll of thunder. The sunlight became blotted out from the eastern windows; the whole hall became suddenly dark as night. The fire faded to sullen embers. Only Gandalf could be seen, standing white and tall before the blackened hearth.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

“When reason fails, the devil helps!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Fear urged him to go back, but growth drove him on.”
― Jack London, White Fang

“Just say something real. Everyone just always tries so hard, and it all comes out the same. I just want someone to say something real.”
― Katie Alender, Bad Girls Don't Die
