That "cat burglar" is absolutely adorable. It'll probably be off to buy a box of luxury cat food ;)

An illustration I find equal parts sweet and tragic, probably because currently I too find myself reminiscing over exes and old crushes. Nonetheless, it's something I keep coming back to.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

I don't even remember that female elf being in The Hobbit ... assuming she really was, I guess it wasn't memorable enough. :lol:

I think that female elf and Legolas both are added character to story.

 

Quoting Wikipedia hope that it is right as I don't have time to search book to see if its right.

Elves

  • Elrond, master of Rivendell, the Last Homely House East of the Sea. The Hobbit calls him an elf-friend rather than an elf, one "who had both elves and heroes of the North for ancestors." (The Lord of the Rings relates that Elrond was born half-elven but chose the path of the elves.)
  • The Elvenking, king of the elves of eastern Mirkwood. He held the dwarves captive. They were eventually freed by Bilbo. (In The Lord of the Rings, he is given the name Thranduil.)
  • Galion, the butler of the Elvenking's halls, whose fondness for drink allows for Bilbo and the dwarves' escape

I was thinking of the film rather than the book, when I said that ... I read the book 30 years ago, definitely don't remember much of anything from the novel, outside of the riddle sequence (that bit really sticks in your head).

More like "It's time for enjo-kosai".

 

 

I knew I shouldn't have looked up that term even before I started. Japanese culture is very weird.
