“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." -Gandalf (J.R.R. Tolkien)

I just watched the Hobbit and it reminded me of this quote from the book. Who ever says the movie wasn't good enough, they do not understand the measures the contributors of the film had to go through to recreate the the world of Tolkien. I thought the movie was fantastic and phenomenal. I applaud the director and the actors.

In the end, the “great power” that we often use in the name of good becomes the likeness of the very evil we try to erase. It's the small things that go unnoticed that birth greater change, not only because they are inherently good, but also because they are deeds done without force.
