Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!
Still, I am glad that I am not an Orc.
I have a peculiar feeling that if I were to ask for a cup of tea, I would get a cup of tea. And that is a very dangerous feeling.
I have a hatred of democracy, and a contempt for it.
The Nazis have corrupted and ruined the noble northern spirit.

The invention of the atomic bomb is a disaster for the world.
I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations.
