J.R.R. Tolkien
“Thus came Aragorn son of Arathorn, Elessar, Isildur's heir, out of the Paths of the Dead, borne upon a wind from the sea to the kingdom of Gondor.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Kirill Yeskov
“You know, those who are motivated by greed, lust for power, or wounded pride are half-way tolerable, at least they feel pangs of conscience sometimes. But there is nothing more fearsome than a bright-eyed enthusiast who had decided to benefit mankind; such a one can drown the world in blood without hesitation. Those guys’ favorite saying is: ‘There are things more important than peace and more terrible than war.”
Kirill Yeskov, The Last Ringbearer
