"We are lost, lost,' said Gollum. 'No name,……" — J.R.R. Tolkien
"We are lost, lost,' said Gollum. 'No name, no business, no Precious, nothing. Only empty. Only hungry; yes, we are hungry. A few little fishes, nasty bony little fishes, for a poor creature, and they say death. So wise they are; so just, so very just"
