More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I am not a 'democrat' only because 'humility' and equality are spiritual principles corrupted by the attempt to mechanize and formalize them, with the result that we get not universal smallness and humility, but universal greatness and pride, till some Orc gets hold of a ring of power--and then we get and are getting slavery.
J. R. R. Tolkien
May the hair on your toes never fall out!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I do not believe this darkness will endure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
No taste of food, no feel of water, no sound of wind, no memory of tree or grass or flower, no image of moon or star are left to me. I am naked in the dark, Sam, and there is no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I begin to see it even with my waking eyes, and all else fades.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I am in fact a hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated).
J. R. R. Tolkien
Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Speak no evil of the Lady Galadriel! said Aragorn sternly. You know not what you say. There is in her and in this land, no evil, unless a man bring it hither himself. Then let him beware!
J. R. R. Tolkien
For you do not yet know the strengths of your hearts, and you cannot foresee what each may meet on the road.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It matters little who is the enemy, if we cannot beat off his attack.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool! he said to himself, and it became a favourite saying of his later, and passed into a proverb. You aren't nearly through this adventure yet, he added, and that was pretty true as well.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It gives me great pleasure, a good name. I always in writing start with a name. Give me a name and it produces a story, not the other way about normally.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Don't go where I can't follow!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I don't know, and I would rather not guess.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Yet seldom do they fail of their seed, And that will lie in the dust and rot to spring up again in times and places unlooked-for. The deeds of Men will outlast us.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You will notice already that Mr. Baggins was not quite so prosy as he liked to believe, also that he was very fond of flowers.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Arrow! Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and I have always recovered you. I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Then Elrond and Galadriel rode on for the Third Age was over and the Days of the Rings were passed and an end was come of the story and song of those times.
J. R. R. Tolkien
