«Hoom, hum, I have not troubled about the Great Wars», said Treebeard;
«they mostly concern Elves and Men.
That is the business of Wizards: Wizards are always troubled about the future.
I do not like worrying about the future.
I am not altogether on anybody’s side,
because nobody is altogether on my side, if you understand me:
nobody cares for the woods as I care for them, not even Elves nowadays.»

«And there are some things, of course,
whose side I’m altogether not on;
I am against them altogether.»
<<<
Variation:
I am on nobody’s side because you are both wrong.
