They were once men. Great kings of men. Then Sauron the deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgul, Ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One. They will never stop hunting you.
ARAGORN
The Fellowship of the Ring
This day does not belong to one man but to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in the days of peace.

I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me.
SAM

It's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men ... And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is, of course, ridiculous.
GIMLI

Anyways, you need people of intelligence on this sort of... mission... quest... thing.
