“Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.” -Gandalf
When I read this I was surprised. Maybe I shouldn’t have been, because literature must have this sort of relevant connection to real life, even if it is set in a place very far away, like Middle Earth.
