hi!! thanks for asking! i would prefer it to be tolkien-related because that’s what i’m most familiar with and experienced in, but if you can find a tolkien/lotr etc quote that fits the theme you’d like i’m happy to make a moodboard for you! ❤
At the beginning of the Second Age Sauron was still beautiful to look at, or could still assume a beautiful visible shape – and was not indeed wholly evil, not unless all reformers who want to hurry up with reconstruction and reorganization are wholly evil, even before pride and the lust to exert their will eat them up.
He was tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgûl, endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the Fellowship.
Nerdanel also was firm of will, but more patient than Fëanor, desiring to understand minds rather than to master them, and at first she restrained him when the fire of his heart grew too hot; but his later deeds grieved her, and they became estranged. Seven sons she bore to Fëanor; her mood she bequeathed in part to some of them, but not to all.
