A Tribute to Helmer

Though I'd share some quotes that make me think of our beloved Helmer the Black. #LastLordCaptain #BestLordCaptain

"It must often be so...when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them."

The Return of the King, The Lord of the Rings, Book 3

"It can't be all right if you die..."

"It can only be all right if I die...If my life has counted for anything, I want my death to count for something, too."

Urchin and the Rage Tide, The Mistmantle Chronicles, Book 5

"...a noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy."

The Last Battle, The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 7

"Though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last."

The novelization of Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith

Okay, this one is just for fun:

"I am Gandalf, Gandalf the White; but Black is mightier still."

The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings, Book 2

Found another sad/awesome quote in a book with mixed reviews; ended up not finishing it myself.

”It was a star...A star giving up it’s life in battle...It won, oh yes, my children, it won. But it lost its life in the winning.”

That's a good quote! Liked that book, little beyond with some of the science stuff, but pretty good overall....why didn't you finish it?

Well, I found some of the premises disturbing; ended up quitting after they got to the planet that had been taken over by evil.

@Kilmarnock228 Understandable, the idea of the darkness that is portrayed is scary, but in a horrifying way so true. There is so much evil around us and the message that we could make a difference somehow no matter how small we may be, has to count for something. Anyway, we can understand why you didn't finish, it is dark, but in a way true.....
