The Hobbit

"My beauty lies in perfection of power—all else is irrelevant."

"Humor is what the powerless use to mock their betters; I simply destroy."

"You cannot understand patience as I do—eons teach all lessons."

"I inspire nothing but dread, the most honest of emotions."

"My adventure is eternal; yours ends in fire."

"I work only to accumulate more of what is already mine."

"Relationships are chains; I alone am unbound."

"I am the kindness that ends suffering through death."

"Your literature speaks of heroes; I am the villain that ends all tales."

"I create nothing, yet all creation serves me."

"Gratitude is a weakness I have never possessed nor required."

"Your politics mean nothing; only might determines right."

"I am the technology of death, perfected through ages."

"Your health fails, your strength wanes, yet I grow only stronger."

"Nature itself bows before my will and power."

"I am the standard by which all other creatures are measured and found wanting."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I have outlasted empires and watched civilizations crumble."

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

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

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

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

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

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