Those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day... They obtained glory and great wealth, yet it turned to their undoing. (...) They could walk, if they would, unseen by all eyes in this world beneath the sun, and they could see things in worlds invisible to mortal men; but too often they beheld only the phantoms and delusions of Sauron. And one by one, sooner or later, according to their native strength and to the good or evil of their wills in the beginning, they fell under the thralldom of the ring that they bore...
---The Silmarillion: "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age"

"Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as times change, truly are powerless because they cannot think new thoughts."
- Salman Rushdie
