 I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Lord of the Rings
It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two... And those who have not swords can still die upon them.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Eowyn, Return of the King, p 264
Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.
J. R. R. Tolkien
