"I am no coward, as you well know, Turgon. I simply had no intentions of spending eternity sitting alone in dark thought, as the sages and the poets have said of my father in those dark halls. What good would that be? I could do nothing useful there. But out in the world, there are things I could do, things I still can do, though this be a different world. I will not be deprived of that opportunity. That would not be justice."
