The Treachery of Some People!

"There is no curse in Elvish, Entish,
 or the tongues of men for this
treachery." Treebeard
Description of Photograph: Treebeard, one of the most lovable and unusual characters by Tolkien, is a fictional character from his Middle-earth fantasy writings. The eldest of the species of Ents, he is said to live in the ancient Forest of Fangorn and stands fourteen feet (4 m) in height. He is treelike in appearance, with leafy hair and a rigid structure. Fangorn Forest lies next to Isengard where Saruman the White resides.

His motto is "Do not be hasty." Here you can see my baby quotes him "There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery." She just loved Treebeard so much, well she didn't even know him, but, she frequently expressed similar repugnance for incorrect care. Take for instance the photo shoot; it's done in the nude, need we say more. Of course, she is totally ignoring the fact that baths and clean diapers must be had, but that is beside the point from her perspective.

She and Treebeard would both agree that:
  1. Going south does feel like going downhill.
  2. Selfish tyrants really can't do anything for the needy, vulnerable and innocent; this applies to both humans and plants.
  3. One really should always try to avoid other people's wars but in the end, one really can't.
  4. Never, ever, under in any circumstances trust someone who is as ugly as they look, both inside and out. And only in Hollywood do these folk ever cut apart like butter.
  5. Both pointy and sharp things signify the presence of evil.
  6. If your hair catches on fire, a river comes in handy.
  7. Little people are generally nicer when compared to big people, but without one's defenses either could mean trouble. 
  8. Like the Ents, you may be outnumbered, but with good on your side you won't need to fear death.
More Quotes by Treebeard:
  • "We might do some things together. I don't know about sides. I go my own way; but your way may go along with mine for a while"
  • “Some of my kin look just like trees now, and need something great to rouse them; and they speak only in whispers. But some of my trees are limb-lithe, and many can talk to me.” 
  • “You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.”
  • “For it is easier to shout 'Stop', than to do it”
  • "He no longer cares for growing things."
  • “Side? I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side, little orc.” 
  • “Never is too long a word even for me...”
  • “That doesn't make sense to me, but you are very small."
