"And Thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined." -J.R.R. Tolkien

Far less famous but this is the Professor's version of Obi-Wan's, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" moment only at a truly cosmic scale.

#TolkienQuotes

Illustration of Gandalf and Frodo, with a quote from Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring : “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Illustration de Frodon et Gandalf, avec une citation de la Communauté de l'Anneau de Tolkien : "J'aurais bien voulu que cela n'eût pas à se passer de mon temps" dit Frodon. "Moi aussi", dit Gandalf, "comme tous ceux qui vivent pour voir de tels temps. Mais la décision ne leur appartient pas. Tout ce que nous avons à décider, c'est ce que nous devons faire du temps qui nous est donné."
