Quote by J. R. R. Tolkien

'Not a bird!' said Sam mournfully. 'No, no birds,' said Gollum. 'Nice birds!' He licked his teeth. 'No birds here. There are snakeses, wormses, things in the pools. Lots of things, lots of nasty things. No birds,' he ended sadly. Sam looked at him with distaste.”

Perfect goodlooks could leave you cold, but this kind of sexy charisma went straight to your knees. -Haven Travis”
