"Heroes aren't always the ones who win," she said. "They're the ones who lose, sometimes. But they keep fighting, they keep coming back. They don't give up. That's what makes them heroes."

You don't need princes to save you. I don't have a lot of patience for stories in which women are rescued by men.

It's okay if there isn't a God anymore, but I still want to respect something. I don't want to be the center of my own universe,

I've never fully understood how Christianity became quite so tame and respectable, given its origins among drunkards, prostitutes, and tax collectors....Jesus could have hung out in the high-end religious scene of his day, but instead he scoffed at all that, choosing instead to laugh at the powerful, befriend whores, kiss sinners, and eat with all the wrong people. He spent his time with people for whom life was not easy. And there, amid those who were suffering, he was the embodiment of perfect love.

Elestirmenler Tolkien'i 'basitlestirmeciliginden', Orta Dunya'nin sakinlerini iyiler ve kotuler diye ikiye ayirmasindan oturu cok sucladilar. Tolkien gercekten de bunu yapiyor. [...] oykuye ruhsal bir yolculuk olarak baktiginizda ise cok farkli ve tuhaf bir seyle karsilasiyorsunuz. O zaman karsiniza cikan, her birinin kara bir golgesi olan parlak figurler toplulugu. Elf'lere karsi Ork'lar. Aragorn'a karsi Kara Suvari. Gandalf'a karsi Saruman. Ve hepsinden ote, Frodo'ya karsi Gollum. Ona karsi ve onunla birlikte. [...] Bu acidan baktiginizda Yuzuklerin Efendisi'ne basit bir oyku diyebilir miyiz? Bence diyebiliriz. Kral Oedipus da oldukca basit bir oykudur. Ancak basitlestirici degildir. Ancak donup golgesiyle yuzlesmis, karanliga bakmis birinin anlatabilecegi bir oykudur. Yuzuklerin Efendisi'nin fantazi dilinde yazilmis olmasi tesaduf degildir; bunun nedeni Tolkien'in bir gerceklik kacagi olmasi degildir, cocuklar icin yazmasi da degildir. Neden, fantazinin ruhsal yolculugun 'ruhta' iyiyle kotunun mucadelesinin dogal, en uygun dili olmasidir.
