It is said that once the Deceiver obtains a being’s trust, he gains the ability to sculpt their very thoughts. To deceive not only their heart and mind, but their eyes and ears. To alter their very reality.
It is not your enemy that bears these Rings, but your most trusted friends. If you believe they have strayed, do not abandon them, but rather open your eyes and guide them.[to Elrond]

I vow to serve the Lord of Mordor. To the end of my days… and his.
I have learned so much from you, since I came to Eregion. But no lesson more lasting than this. True creation requires sacrifice.[to Celebrimbor]
Hear me! Shadow of Morgoth. Hear the dying words of Celebrimbor. The Rings of Power shall destroy you. And in the end, I foresee, one alone shall prove your utter ruin![to Sauron]
Have you gone mad?[Durin IV]The whole world’s gone mad, my son. But it is to us to grip it by the throat.[Durin III]
Faith is not faith if it is not lived.
Always after a defeat, the shadow takes another shape and grows again.
All things belong each to themselves.
A wizard’s staff is like a name. It’s yours to wield already, if you prove yourself worthy of it.
A wizard does not find his staff. It finds him.
