"I've given up on this book, mainly because it's very hard to follow and tends to get lost in details and side bars rather than getting to the point. Tolkien's version of "the Norse theory of courage", which is about a refusal to be daunted in the face of overwhelming odds and a contempt for death, is more accessible and more inspiring. There is no salvation, just a certain grim satisfaction of doing the right thing." — Oct 20, 2019 05:36AM

“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
