“I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun; and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a Shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“And then her heart changed, or at least she understood it; and the winter passed, and the sun shone upon her.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"
“But no living man am I!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“Do you think things always have an explanation?
"Yes. I believe that they do. But I think that with our human limitations we're not always able to understand the explanations. But you see, Meg, just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
