Power loves not the light of day, nor the attention of curious eyes. In darkness it thrives most.. A lord may send his army hither and thither, but the true testing of his power is in those places where his army is not.. Has he sent its long fingers far enough through the backstreets and alleys, into the drinking dens and the lending-houses, so that he may gather them unto himself and hold them firm without a single swordsman?.

About This Quote

The Dark Lord Sauron, the chief antagonist in J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, is known for his power. He is an evil being with great power in this world. He has all the ability to conquer the world with his army but he does not do so. He sends his long fingers through the backstreets and alleys so he may gather them unto himself and hold them firm without a single swordsman opposing him. This is why Sauron sits in darkness, where no one can see him or his actions.
