* FRANK HERBERT'S DUNE PROMPTS ,

"something cannot emerge from nothing."

"any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere."

"the mind commands the body and it obeys."

"desperate people are the most dangerous."

"the concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future."

"hard tasks need hard ways."

"you must teach me someday how you do that, the way you thrust your worries aside and turn to practical matters."

"i cause pain out of necessity."

"you must learn to rule. it's something none of your ancestors learned."

"people need hard times to develop psychic muscles."

"what is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader."

"the people who can destroy a thing, they control it."

"be prepared to appreciate what you meet."

"take your time and be sure."

"it is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present and a waste to live in the future."

"survival is the ability to swim in strange water."

"you fight when the necessity arises—no matter the mood!"

"even occasional greatness will destroy a man."

"humans are almost always lonely."

"greatness is a transitory experience. it is never consistent."

"climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it's a mountain."

"knowing where the trap is—that's the first step in evading it."

"may this place give you as much pleasure as it has given me."

"paradise on my right, hell on my left and the angel of death behind."

"try looking into that place where you dare not look! you'll find me there, staring out at you!"

"it's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult."

"i often wonder in these later days if anything about him was as it seemed."

"the storm passed through us and around us, it's gone, but we remain."

"the mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."

"mood's a thing for cattle or making love, it's not for fighting."

"fear is the mind-killer, fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration."

"when you imagine mistakes, there can be no self-defense."

"hope clouds observation."

"one should never presume one is the sole object of a hunt."

"if you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken."

"science is made up of so many things that appear obvious after they are explained."

"what senses do we lack that we cannot see or hear another world all around us?"

"the power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it."

"highly organized research is guaranteed to produce nothing new."

"i should like friendship with you ... and trust."

"a killer with the manners of a rabbit—this is the most dangerous kind."

"once you've given orders on a subject, you must always give orders on that subject."

"prophets have a way of dying by violence."

"do as she says, you wormfaced, crawling, sand-brained piece of lizard turd!"

"this world has emptied me of all but the oldest purpose: tomorrow's life."

"a ruler must learn to persuade and not to compel."

"the mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off.

"the human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive."

"a stone is heavy and the sand is weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both."

"greatness is a transitory experience, it is never consistent."

"do not count a human dead until you’ve seen his body, and even then you can make a mistake."

"but it’s a human trait that when we encounter personal problems."

"but it's well known that repression makes a religion flourish."

"the person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in."

"i am not the kind of person i want to be."

"there was no mercy where there could be no stopping."

"your life is stolen."

"the hunter does not seek dead game."

"are you already training my replacement?"

"we tend to flounder around, blaming everything but the actual, deep-seated thing that’s really chewing on us."

"where the fear has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain."

"what do you despise? by this are you truly known."

"i should've suspected trouble when the coffee failed to arrive."

"sad? nonsense! parting with friends is a sadness. a place is only a place."

"who asks for justice? we make our own justice."

"behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go i forth to my work."

"in such perfection, all things move towards death."

"there is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man—with human flesh."

"i never could bring myself to trust a traitor."

"i must not fear."

"a plan depends as much upon execution as it does upon concept."

"what is the son but an extension of the father?"

"you have eyes, yet cannot see without light."

"proper teaching is recognized with ease, you can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you have always known."

"it's easier to be terrified by an enemy you admire."

"fear is the mind-killer."

"the way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training."

"to accept a little death is worse than death itself."

"life produces a different taste each time you take it."

"it's what we were meant to do."

"i see us giving love to each other in a time of quiet between storms."

"a popular man arouses the jealousy of the powerful."

"don't sit with your back to any doors."

"there's steel in this man that no one has taken the temper out of..."

"any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die."

"we went soft, we lost our edge."

"you can’t buy security."

"we faced it and did not resist."

"thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."

"there is no escape—we pay for the violence of our ancestors."

"it is so shocking to find out how many people do not believe that they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult."

"what has mood to do with it?"

"the day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you."

I will never not be amused at Eomer recounting how they have very few black horses left because when Sauron sends orcs to plunder them for his forces, they take only the black ones. That Maia really said my army has one aesthetic and stuck to it

Sauron is the person you give gummy bears to and who systematically picks out only the red ones to eat from the pack  and throws the rest away because they don’t go with his outfit

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug | Sentence Starters

(…) came to see you before he disappeared. This is no chance meeting, is it? I’m trying to tell you that something else is out there. It’s not natural. None of it. He’s under no enchantment but his own. A darkness lies upon that forest! You will never reach the forest alive. Go now, while you have the light. This forest feels sick, as if a disease lies upon it. We’re being watched. The meat’s alive and kicking! Do you think I’m giving you a weapon, (…)? You’re mistaken! Not only a thief, but a liar as well. This isn’t the end of it! You hear me?! Aren’t you going to search me? I could have anything down my trousers. No one leaves here but by the king’s consent. I warned (…) of what his greed would summon, but he would not listen. A hundred years is a mere blink in the life of an Elf. I know you’re there. Why do you linger in the shadows? Keep our lands clear of those foul creatures, that is your task! Other lands are not my concern. (…) said you fought well today. Do not give him/her hope, for there is none. Sounds like quite the party you’re having up there. Say what you want about the ill-tempered king, he has excellent taste of wine. We’re never going to reach the mountain, are we? You’re supposed to be leading us out, not further in! I would not have called you here without good reason. This is not a nice place to meet. A human sorcerer could not summon such evil. In our blindness, the enemy has returned. The enemy is preparing for war. If what you say is true, the world is in grave danger! A lake lies between us and that mountain. There’s no way around. Do it again, and you’re dead. What makes you think I would help you? There’s poison in his/her blood. (S)He’ll choke on it soon. You like killing things, (…)? You like death? The flames of war are upon you! Why did you do that? You promised you would set (…) free! I freed his/her wretched head from his/her miserable shoulders. No one enters this kingdom, and no one leaves it. What are you doing? Trying to drown us? If I wanted to drown you, I would not do it here. I don’t care what (s)he calls himself/herself. I don’t trust him/her. If you value your freedom, you’ll do as I say. Jobs, shelter, food. It’s all they ever plea about. All this talk of change must be suppressed. Out with the old. In with the new. Our house, it’s being watched. If you speak of this to anyone, I’ll rip your arms off. You defied his orders! You betrayed his trust! If I go back I will not forgive myself. Are we not part of this world? With every victory, this evil will grow. When did we let evil become stronger than us? We caught them stealing weapons! You don’t know to whom you speak! We have come to reclaim our homeland. If you awaken the beast, it will destroy us all! If we succeed, all will share in the wealth of the mountain. We must not, any of us, be too quick to lay blame. Will you share in the great wealth of our people? We must travel at speed. You’ll slow us down. One day, you will be king and you’ll understand. On no account, come after me. What if it’s a trap? It’s undoubtedly a trap. I need herbs. Something to bring down his/her fever. There’s only one Arkenstone. You’ll know it when you see it. There’s no dishonour in turning back. It never ceases to amaze me, the courage of Hobbits. Go now, with as much luck as you can muster. If there’s in fact a live dragon down there, don’t awaken it. There’s no light that can defeat darkness. Come now, don’t be shy. Step into the light! I merely wanted to gaze upon your magnificence to see if the tales are true. Do you think your flattery will keep you alive? You have nice manners for a thief and a liar. Did you think I did not know this day would come? I ate his people like a wolf among sheep! I kill where I wish, when I wish! I guessed his/her fould purpose sometime ago. Darkness is coming. It will spread in every corner of the land. (…) has waged the value of your life and has found it worth nothing. I am almost tempted to let you take it. So tell me, (…). How do you choose to die? She walks in starlights in another world. I’m not dying like this, clawing and cowering for breath! If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together! You care about them, do you? Good, then you can watch them die! I laid low your warriors of old. I laid still the hearts of men.

Legolas, does not wield a regular human bow, both bows he uses are of elvish make. The bow from Eryn Galen is shorter since it is used for more close, tight spaced strikes and combat (since the forest would have been his main battleground at home). But considering it’s elvish and elves are said to be stronger in general to men, it’s most likely heavier and has a higher draw weight…perhaps more closely akin in power to an english war-bow.  Now, a real world english war-bow i believe usually had a draw weight of somewhere near 140 to 160-ish lbs….about 130 lbs would rip into a metal plate armor and 160 would most likely also rip clean through the body of one wearing the armor too.  Legolas is often said to be immensely strong, have great sight, steady hands and be able to swiftly draw a great war-bow. 

But Legolas doesn’t use a regular war-bow. He uses the great war-bow of the Galadhrim. The war-bow of the Galadhrim was longer, heavier (probably has a closer draw weight to 180lbs maybe even a nudge nearer 200lbs) and sometimes said to be strung with elf hair. It is the most ranged bow in all of middle earth. It is basically an elvish sniper rifle.

The most inaccurate thing in all the movies was Legolas’ arrows sicking out of his foes chest after they’re slain. A full draw of a regular bow from Rohan will go straight through you normally….a draw from a real world english war-bow will do much the same and shred through your armor. The bow of the Galadhrim will go through your armor, you and into your friend standing three feet behind.
