It is Beren the outlawed mortal who succeeds (with the help of Lúthien, a mere maiden even if an elf of royalty) where all the armies and warriors have failed: he penetrates the stronghold of the Enemy and wrests one of the Silmarilli from the Iron Crown.

Christopher Tolkien • The Silmarillion

J.R.R. Tolkien • The Lord of the Rings

J.R.R. Tolkien • The Lord of the Rings
"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
-J.R.R. Tolkien
