The Hobbit

"I have no need for technology. I am nature's ultimate weapon."

"Your imagination could never conjure a creature as terrible as I am."

"Adventure? I am adventure incarnate. I am the doom adventurers flee from."

"My health is absolute. I am perfection given form and fire."

"I am inspired by nothing save the weight of my own magnificence."

"Politics and laws are toys for lesser creatures. I answer to no one."

"Your literature speaks of heroes who might defeat me. They are all lies."

"I cannot be bargained with. I cannot be reasoned with. I simply am."

"Nature itself trembles before me. The very earth groans under my weight."

"There is no peace while I draw breath. There is only conquest and flame."

"I am free. Bound by neither law nor mercy, neither pity nor restraint."

"Kindness is the creed of the weak and the enslaved. I acknowledge no such virtue."

"Your patience means nothing. My patience is measured in ages and eons."

"I have watched empires rise and fall. None could match my magnificence."

"There is no humor in the world, only the laughter of victors over their defeated foes."

"Dreams? I need not dream. I live in glory beyond what you could imagine."

"I do not work. The world works for me, bringing tributes to my mountain."

"Your weapons will break upon my hide. Your courage will falter before my presence."

"I remember when this land was empty. I have shaped its very history."

"Hope is for the weak. I deal only in certainties and domination."

"The beauty of my scales outshines any art your pathetic hands could create."

"I have no need for friendship. I have only need for more wealth."

"Your kind are insects, easily crushed beneath my claws and teeth."

"I do not change. I am as I have always been: magnificent and terrible."

"Every coin in my hoard represents a life I have destroyed or conquered."

"Those who oppose me learn the meaning of true despair before they perish."

"I need nothing from anyone. I am complete unto myself, alone with my gold."

"Knowledge is power, and I know all that transpires in these lands."

"The world bows before me. Kings flee at the mere whisper of my name."

"I am eternal. I will outlive all of you and your pitiful civilizations."
