Sam to Galadriel:

“If you’ll pardon my speaking out, I think my master was right. I wish you’d take his Ring. You’d put things to rights. You’d stop them digging up the gaffer and turning him adrift. You’d make some folk pay for their dirty work.”

“I would,” she said. “That is how it would begin. But it would not stop with that, alas!”
