Smaug

"I have no use for friendship—only subjects and slaves."

"The heat of my breath can melt stone and steel alike."

"I remember every slight, every insult, every act of disrespect."

"Death is the only mercy I offer to those who oppose me."

"Your despair feeds me more than any flesh could."

"I am the author of your fate, the master of your doom."

"Gold sings to me in a language only I can understand."

"Peace is for the weak; conquest is for the strong."

"I need not change—all must change to suit me."

"The greatest treasure is not gold, but the power that gold brings."

"Your weapons cannot harm what cannot be harmed."

"I see all, I know all, I am all within my domain."

"Hope is a foolish luxury afforded only to the powerless."

"Every creature that flies, crawls, or walks answers to me."

"I have conquered mountains and laid waste to nations."

"Your fear is exquisite; it flavors even your words."

"I do not dream—I command reality into being."

"The greatest enemy is one you cannot see; I am always watching."

"I am the storm that destroys all in its path."

"Your valor means nothing against my scales and flame."

"I am hunger incarnate, forever consuming yet never satisfied."

"To know me is to know terror; to fear me is to know wisdom."

"I have outlasted empires and watched civilizations crumble."

"Your inheritance is ash and ruin—my gift to you."

"Every moment you draw breath is by my sufferance."

"I am the truth that cannot be denied, the fire that cannot be extinguished."

"Your God cannot save you; neither can your king or your kin."

"I have no master, no peer, no equal in this world."

"The finest songs are sung in praise of my magnificence."

"You seek to educate yourselves? Education is accepting your inferiority to me."
