Quote by Richard Hooker

“Look!" Hawkeye said. Duke looked where Hawkeye was pointing. In one corner, kneeling on the dirt floor with his elbows on his cot, a Bible in front of him, his lips moving slowly, and oblivious to all about him, was Major Jonathan Hobson. "Jesus," Hawkeye said. "It don't look like Him," Duke said.”

Richard Hooker (c. 1554 – 3 November 1600) was an influential English theologian and a key figure in the development of Anglicanism. He is best known for his work 'Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity,' which provided a systematic defense of the Church of England's polity, liturgy, and doctrine. Hooker's thought integrated medieval scholasticism, Renaissance humanism, and Reformation principles, emphasizing the balance of reason, tradition, and Scripture. His writings shaped the Anglican identity and influenced later political philosophy. Hooker studied at Oxford University and served as a priest and professor. He died in 1600, but his legacy endures in theological and philosophical studies. more

“The Elven people believe that preservation of the land and all that lives and grows upon it, plant and animal alike, is a moral responsibility. They have always held this belief foremost in their conduct as creatures of the earth. In the old world, they devoted the whole of their lives to caring for the woodlands and forests in which they lived, cultivating its various forms of vegetation, sheltering the animals that it harbored. Of course, they had little else to concern them in those days, for they were an isolated and reclusive people. All that has changed now, but they still maintain a belief in their moral responsibility for their world. Every Elf is expected to spend a portion of his life giving back to the land something of what he has taken out of it. By that I mean every Elf is expected to devote a part of his life to working with the land–to repairing damage it may have suffered through misuse or neglect, to caring for its animals and other wildlife, to caring for its trees and smaller plants where the need to do so is found.”
