“All of my work has been leading to this”

“But to this Orc-work such a life as we lead has brought us. Lawless and fruitless all our deeds have been, serving only ourselves, and feeding hate in our hearts.”

“Everything in my life has been leading up to this," he whispered. "Everything that's happened, everything I've done has been worth it because it's brought me here.”

“Apart from the desire to produce beautiful things, the leading passion of my life has been and is hatred of modern civilization.”

“Everyone has been made for some particular work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.”
