In the Lord of the Rings, Faramir says at one point to Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins, the line; “War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”

This is a very fascinating quote, one that was apparently one of the favourites’ of John Ronald Reul Tolkien. It has the echo of the Truth, of life itself and is arguably one of the most sincere lines ever written. It smacks of the ideal of Honour, of Chivalry, of Bushido, of the belief in defence of what one loves, of the righteousness of those who fight solely to defend their homelands, who fight to protect their children.
