Looking For Quotes About Morgoth

[Inziladun]

There are a couple more relevant quotes from The Silmarillion.

In the powers and knowledge of all the other Valar [Melkor] had part, but he turned them to evil purposes and squandered his strength in violence and tyranny.

Valaquenta

And this:

....[Morgoth's] hatred devoured him, and in the domination of his servants and the inspiring of them with lust of evil he spent his spirit.

Of the Flight of the Noldor
