My history teacher (there was an article in the Guardian or something about the lack of women in LotR, and it was on his desk when he came in (late), so out of nowhere (we knew nothing of his ficiton tastes) he begins to moan about the article and how people should read LotR before saying that etc. THEN he compared us all to a bunch of Orks for not doing any work.

Myself...there are so many inspirational things, it really just notches up quality of life.
