Theme Challenge

This week's theme:
Text Only
There are only three rules for these icons:

1. Text only; so there will be no images for this challenge!
   
2. You may use any text you like from the either Peter S. Beagle's novel The Last Unicorn or the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn. Punctuation is optional.
   
3. You may use any font, text size, text colour, brushes, borders and/or textures you choose.
   
4. The movie script can be found at SciFi Scripts. For those of you who can't get a hold of the novel, chanth.com has a few lovely passages.
   
5. When submitting your icons, please include the source of your text for each icon (the script, the novel, and/or a link to the website) and provide a short description of the scene for context. If you got the quote from your own copy of the novel, also include which chapter the icon text can be found.
   
6. If you're confused by anything, or have any questions, just ask. My contact info can be found in the community's info page.
   
7. All the usual rules also apply (you can't show your icon to anyone until after the winners have been announced, icons must be up to lj's standards, no animation, etc.).

There are only five rules for these icons:

1. All mood theme icons MUST be 90 pixels x 50 pixels in size.
   
2. Only one mood per icon.
   
3. The icon must somehow convey the mood it is meant to represent.
   
4. You must use an image from the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn. Use of multiple images is acceptable, so long as they're from the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn.
   
5. If you're confused by anything, or have any questions, just ask. My contact info can be found in the community's info page.

Other notes: Any text is acceptable, though quotes from The Last Unicorn, either the movie or the novel, are preferable. Brushes, borders, etc. are perfectly fine. Also, it is perfectly acceptable for the text and/or brushes etc. in the icon convey the "mood." Of course, all the usual rules also apply (you can't show your icon to anyone until after the winners have been announced, icons must be up to lj's standards, no animation, et cetera).
